Happy Thanksgiving!

This Thursday is Thanksgiving, a day where we contemplate the good fortune we had in the previous year and give thanks.

Oh, who are we kidding?  It’s about the food.  Even the very first Thanksgiving was all about the food (…which prevented the Pilgrims from starving, for which they were thankful.  It all cycles around).

But what will be on every table this year?  Pillsbury did a survey on what people are planning to serve on Thursday.  Here I give you the top 5!

#5: 63% of people will serve corn.

The Burlesque by Mojo Moxy is tall like the stalk, yellow like the kernels, and has lots of dangling bits like that stupid silk that always gets stuck all over the ear…but my shucking inadequacies aside, this is a really fun boot!  The shaft is a foot high, the heel is five inches, and there’s a hidden 1.5-inch platform.  Find them at Heels.com for $185.

#4: 70% will serve green beans (probably in a casserole).

I’m not really a fan of green bean casserole, if I’m honest, but I am a fan of the Panto by Nine West!  This fall’s must-have smoking slipper, but in green suede with an embroidered golden crest at the toe.  Also available in pink, orange, or blue suede, or brown or wine snakeskin—find them all at 6pm for $52.

#3: 75% will have some kind of bread.

The quilted front of the Ryane by Rocket Dog sort of looks like slices of bread in a row, doesn’t it?  Cushy!  I’m sort of digging the outside zipper as well.  The hidden wedge is three inches high—just high enough.  Yours for $75 at Macy’s.

#2: 76% will serve pumpkin pie.

Mmm, pumpkin pie.  The Ball-A by Kenneth Cole Reaction has the orange of the filling (in suede) and the brown of the crust (in leather—plus look at the detailing! nice).  It’s got a short stacked wedge (just a half-inch) and some elastic around the collar.  Also available in black or blue; your choice for $69 at Zappos.

#1: Turkey, of course!  92% will serve turkey.

The Teri by Bucco is very reminiscent of a turkey!  The dark brown, the mottled coloring, just a hint of orange (like the wattle), and the feathers, of course!  However, I would not recommend eating these.  (Though who knows?  Cook anything long enough…)  The woven wedge is five inches high, and the platform is 1.25 inches.  Yours for $25 from Buckle.

No matter what’s on your table on Thursday, dig in!  (You’ll need your strength for Black Friday. J )
