Troops not meeting the week of Thanksgiving and over Christmas break? This is a thing now?

[Armymutt]

Our troop isn't meeting tonight due to Thanksgiving.  Seems odd, since it's Tuesday and Thanksgiving is two days away.  We also didn't meet on Veterans Day, for some reason.  I also found out that we aren't meeting for two weeks in December.  This seems rather Cub Scoutish.  Is this normal now?  My troops growing up met unless it was Christmas or Independence Day.  If kids went out of town, fine, they missed the meeting.  No big deal.  Everyone else had the opportunity to get together and have fun.
