Thanksgiving Maps Show Celebration Differences

Not every one celebrates Thanksgiving the same.  Recently, eBay’s Deals Blog released a series of maps showing the differences across the United States.  

The Midwest and Southwest appear to drink the most, while Idaho, the Texas Panhandle, and Maine abstain according to Business Insider.   Almost everyone in the country says what they are thankful for, except the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles.  As to what time people sit down to eat, from Montana to New Mexico, dinner starts in the evening around six, and the rest of the country is a little later.

The eBay survey sample was 13,000 people, using a variety of online survey tools.  None of the surveys were on the eBay site.
