Thanksgiving in Massachusetts Will Include Biden But Not Baker

Massachusetts might be with out Governor Charlie Baker for Thanksgiving, however President Joe Biden might be right here.

Republican Baker, who opted in opposition to looking for a 3rd time period as governor, hit the street with First Woman Lauren Cardy Schadt Baker for a weeklong Thanksgiving household trip in Eire.

The Bakers departed Logan Worldwide Airport in Boston for Dublin on Saturday night time.

Eire is an attention-grabbing vacation vacation spot since neither Baker is Irish. In truth, Governor Charlie is of English ancestry.

Thanksgiving is strictly an American vacation and never noticed in Eire – or England, for that matter. Nor are turkeys native to the Emerald Isle. Irish Fowl.com doubts wild turkeys might even survive in Eire.

Turkeys are native to North America.

There’s a turkey trade in Eire the place the birds are grown in captivity for dinner tables in Eire and England. Turkey has develop into frequent at Christmastime throughout the pond, though the Irish Mirror reported hen flu might end in a scarcity of turkeys abroad this yr.

Whereas the Bakers have fun Thanksgiving in a nation that does not observe Thanksgiving, outgoing Republican Lt. Governor Karyn Polito, who now resides at the very least part-time in Padanaram, might be swiveling within the large chair.

The Bakers could also be out of Massachusetts for Thanksgiving, however Joe Biden might be right here as a substitute. The State Home Information Service reported Biden and his spouse Jill will spend the vacation with buddies on Nantucket.

“The commander-in-chief and his household historically spend Thanksgiving on Nantucket and are planning to take action once more this yr,” SHNS reported.

The White Home stated Biden will return to the nation’s capital on Sunday.
