I'll proclaim November 28, 2013 Thanksgivukkah in the City of Boston. How will you celebrate?

Roslindale's own Dana Gitell has been the holiday's most tireless backer.

I dont get it. Why would you

I dont get it. Why would you dilute your holiday with another one like this ? Is this the new hipster interpretation of Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 ? This reminds me of Festivus ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detail... ) . Where is the integrity of it all?

I don't think anybody's actually taking this as seriously as you think they are. This is literally a once-in-a-lifetime event - the next one is in 79,000 years or so - people are just having some fun with it.

Well , if its levity you want

Well , if its levity you want , lets go for a trifecta : I can groove with the hipsters..........

Dazzling Comet of 2013 May Be Among Brightest Ever Seen

Excitement continues to rise among both professional and amateur astronomers about Comet ISON, which on Nov. 28 of this year might become one of the brightest comets ever seen, outshining such recent dazzlers as Comet Hale-Bopp (1997) and Comet McNaught (2007).
