With Thanksgiving coming in just a few short weeks, we were curious how our readers and viewers felt about it. We came up with a few questions to get a feel for how people choose to celebrate the holiday.

We'd also like to know, given the struggling economy, if the overall mood of the holiday will be any different this year. Do we have more to be thankful for, or less? Have our priorities changed in any way?
