Going to sit this one out as, not being American, I basically have no idea what thanksgiving even is. To me, turkeys mean Christmas.

In practice, it's really an excuse for a feast of a meal and watching football (American football, of course).

It's not a day of happiness for all Americans though as I pointed out last year...  National Day of Mourning 2015-M |

yeah, I think it's a holiday that really needs a cultural re-think. The Canadian one carries an extra level of embarrassment IMO because as far as I can it's completely in imitation of the US with a change in date to give it an unconvincing appearance of independence. |

As a Canadian, I must say that ours is most definitely not an imitation and is in fact older than American Thanksgiving. Ours is traced back to the Europeans settling here around 1578 (compared to early 1600's I believe in the US) and is actually more accurate time wise. They held feasts at the prime harvest time (October) as opposed to November an that is what it grew from.
If anything, US Thanksgiving is a slight embarrassment as it seems to have turned into the unholy shopping terror of Black Friday. But bottom line, be thankful every day folks!

I guess you don't subscribe to the saying " history is written by the winners"? |
