Today in Comics History, Thanksgiving Day: Thanksgiving was sure a nice occasion at Xavier's...

...that is, until Jean and Banshee and Psylocke died, Angel got his memory erased, Jubilee lost her powers and became a vampire, Beast turned into a big lion, Storm got unceremoniously divorced, most of the mutant race was decimated*, and Cyclops started sleeping with one of the X-Men's arch-enemies, went insane and killed Professor X.

from Uncanny X-Men (1963 series) #308 (Marvel, January 1994), script by Scott Lobdell, pencils by John Romita Jr., inks by Dan Green and Al Vey, colors by Steve Buccellato, letters by Chris Eliopoulos

Aside from that, it's pretty much the same Thanksgiving this year.

*Actual definition of "decimated" not used here.

In other words, a typical weekday at Xavier's.
