What's not to love about Thanksgiving? It's a day devoted to lounging, eating, and reminiscing with relatives.But there's another holiday... jennkloc http://www.chicagonow.com/profiles/jennkloc
But there's another holiday on the horizon that celebrates a different kind of binging--Blackout Wednesday!

I recently learned that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is one of the biggest party nights of the year. I am not sure why this never occurred to me previously, since it makes a lot of sense. People are home (or soon to be headed home) for the holiday and won't have to work the next day. That means that they are free to party hard the whole night before Thanksgiving with very few consequences.

And what better way to nurse a hangover than with cranberry sauce and stuffing?
