Tonight is THE biggest drinking day of the year. Even though we all want to go out and pre-game for the dreaded yearly gathering of family in the morning, be safe and remember to have a DD. And I don't mean to fuel up at Dunkin's with a pumpkin latte beforehand. Though that is a good idea.

This evening both Major's Pub on Jackson Street and Molly Kay's on Middlesex Street will be hosting super-sized Thanksgiving Eve extravaganzas! Send your pics to rbriere@lowellsun.com and you could be in our Makin' The Scene in Steppin' Out next Thursday!

Without sounding too much like an ad for Captain Morgan's, remember to always drink responsibly. See you in the heated tent!
