Thanksgiving Reading

As a Canadian, American Thanksgiving always seemed so...big. It seems like such a bigger event than our own harvest festival Thanksgiving held more than a month earlier. When I was a kid the difference in dates was so very confusing. I remember reading a book where a character talked about Christmas decorations coming out right after Thanksgiving and my response was, "What? Before Halloween???" Needless to say I've since learned a lot more about American Thanksgiving (I still don't get the football association, but then I don't really get football). What better way to celebrate it than to point out some Thanksgiving books?

I don't know about you, but making an entire pie from scratch (yes, the crust too) scares the heck out of me. With the holidays here I want to serve guests or bring a desert that will WOW my family and friends yet NOT make me cry while kneading dough. I want to say "yes, it's homemade" and NOT be lying through my teeth.
