We do, and some of our friends do too. I've got a much longer post about it on my blog, but for here I just copied a few general links and added the bird-themed one. Some folks have commented with what they're making today.

I spent the daylight mulching my oak seedlings with fallen leaves. Might do some cooking later if I have time for it.
