It goes without saying that most of you, dear readers, are avid smartphone or PDA users. Or at the very least, you can't stay disconnected for long. That's why the challenge I have for you this Thanksgiving is to go cold Turkey (Turkey, get it?!): turn off all your gadgets while you enjoy the holiday.

This is actually easier than it sounds, because you can help yourself out by finishing all your work before the holidays. Having nothing to worry about or keep track of makes pushing that off button so much easier.

What I've written here of course applies to any holiday. For maximum pleasure and enjoyment, keep your gadget off, lest you become really addicted to them. Happy Thanksgiving!
