The November Issue of Animalia Magazine was a bit shorter than usual, mainly because everyone was more focused on the elections and what they would mean for the country as a whole. However, there were some things that were interesting enough to provide some diversion.

What was probably the most interesting overall was the official schedule for the Animalia Thanksgiving Exhibition. While the Thanksgiving feast would be celebrated on the usual day (normally Thursday), the first three days of the week would have cooking classes and exhibitions. Of course, there were some recipes in the Digital version so some people could try them out for themselves.
During the event proper, there would be both a silent auction and a regular auction, along with one of Animalia's most popular events: their Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction. While many of the bachelors or bachelorettes were a bit more about surprises, there were a few who had their profiles on the Animalia website updated as "available". Of course, there were some people who were leaving creepy comments, but these were deleted by moderators soon afterward, which was causing all kinds of hilarious comments afterward.

What was probably the funniest thing that was part of the celebration was the so called "Turkey Trot and Gobble Wobble", which was a name for the weight loss classes afterward, because Thanksgiving was often associated with gaining weight, to put it mildly. This was emphasized by the various comic strips that poked fun at both Thanksgiving and the concept of gaining weight during such a time. The best example was of a Foxtrot comic where Mr. Fox finds he only gained one pound during Thanksgiving, and thus could eat another two slices of pie "guilt-free", but his wife asks, "Has our scale always sunk into the linoleum like that?"

For some people, this was coming out too early, but there was also a Christmas gift list inside both the physical and digital copies of the magazine. This was mainly focusing on products and services for baby Animalians under five years of age, which also included a strange combination of teething and squeaky toys, which some found rather amusing. Of course, some people like to get their Christmas shopping done early so they were able to get it done, even if it made them somewhat confusing to others
