Actually approaching 400 years now. 229+ since Independence - so technically multiple hundreds on that too.
For the non-USA Vantage sites that might be wondering......
First "official" Thanksgiving by Massachusetts Bay Colony was July 8, 1630.
First "U.S." Thanksgiving was November 26, 1789 as declared by George Washington in inaugural address.
Tradition faded in 1800's and was resumed by Abraham Lincoln in 1863.
Even if the board gets really quiet on the U.S. holidays cheer up....holidays were made for upgrades! So there are still plenty of people monitoring messages.
Mark.... your description exactly fits an Australia Day weekend I spent in Melbourne once. 40C+ (well over 100F anyway) and lots of annoying flies blown in from the Outback. All the BHP mates were off to parties so I hunkered down in my hotel room and watched the broadcast of the Superbowl from the U.S. where it was conveniently still Sunday night.

Sounds very similar to an Australian holiday the only addition would be
the
BBQ 20kg's of T Bone steaks with all the guys with Beer in hand
determining
the precise moment to turn the steaks while comparing who has the largest
engine in there Car then moving onto Boat and finally who has the biggest
lawn mower all while a dozen kids are trying to drown each other in the
pool
and the Lady's are discussing cooking recipes in 40 deg heat with flies as
big as Cessna's flying around your head .......
Hmmmm can't wait!!!

It's getting to that time of day when everyone will start bailing for
home.
I hope everyone participating in this holiday has a safe and pleasant
holiday. If you aren't familiar with this American holiday, families
gather
together for this annual feast. Afterward the men watch sports, drink
beer,
eat more, belch, scratch, put their feet on furniture, don't use coasters,
or ash trays, continuously pee on the toilet seat, and generally make the
mess bigger. The women pack the food away, do the dishes and gripe at the
men. We have been enjoying this glorious holiday for hundreds of years.
Have a safe one.
