Although turkeys may want Americans to eat more ham, we all know that turkey will be eaten by about 90% of people on Thanksgiving Day.  If you've got family coming to your house for the big turkey day celebration, consider gathering some craft supplies so the kids can have some fun making their own gobblers to decorate the house.  Photo courtesy of Glitter Graphics.
