The Western world is counting down to Thanksgiving Day, a tradition that officially kicks off the holiday season.
But no one could probably be more grateful than two 18-week-old, 40-pound turkeys, whom President Barack Obama pardoned at a ceremony in the Rose Garden on Wednesday, and spared from becoming a part of Thursday's Thanksgiving feast.
Obama formally pardoned Abe, whom he nicknamed "TOTUS," the turkey of the United States. If Abe is unable to fulfill his duties, the president said Honest would take his place. -- ANC Market Edge, November 26, 2015
