Happy Thanksgiving

It's a bit early, but I'm flying out to California tomorrow to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and parents, and wanted to wish all my friends a blessed Thanksgiving, at least all those that celebrate it. We all have much to be thankful for... even me.

 

Hey Gary...hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving with your family and the travel doesn't tire you too much. *Hugs*

 

Us Canucks celebrate Thanksgiving a tad earlier than our friends down South, something to do with SNOW seems to come up.........Having said that I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and all the American Geeks a great Thanksgiving Week, and hope you have a safe trip and a grand time with your family in California G.T.

 

Happy Early Thanksgiving and dont drink too much wine

 

I hope you have a great time with your family in Cal. for Thanksgiving. I guess the Turkey won't be the only thing that's stuffed, Lol .

I think it's Nov. 23 this year, the day before my b/day. Canada had there's on Oct 9. We don't really celebrate it here, which is sill i.m.o., because Australia has more to be thankful for than most nations, i.m.o.


Anyway hope all of you out there have the best Thanksgiving ever.

Today, I shall give thanks to the wonders of Subway and their Italian BMT on Italian bread with all the salad (hold olives and jalapinos), with some southwest sauce.

 

Happy Thanksgiving, and you can never go wrong with a full blown Subway Sandwich!!

Yea Roger you do have a little bit more to be Thankful for this Thanksgiving than most. Congrats again on a beautiful baby girl, and may you all have a great Thanksgiving........You'd think that that girl of yours had this all planned out now wouldn't you

 

Well, you say that but if they accidentally add olives (like they did today) it all goes horribly wrong ....

I posted this in my bulliten at Myspace, but figured it would be good here too. Just some thoughts... Seasonal Depression sucks, but it gives me some great ideas to work with too.... LOL

PS: Yeah, I was watching a movie today, bonus points if you know which movie it was that got me thinking about family and the holidays.

Peace and thankfulness to everyone.

Oh man, I'm filled to the brim!!!

Hope everyone has a great turkey day...

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!!

 

Hope all you Yanks had a great day.
Feel sorry for all the turkeys, though. Bazza

 

And Happy Black Friday all. Day after Thanksgiving is the craziest shopping day of the year; start of the Christmas stampede.

Been a good week with my folks, although a very tired one. But I wouldn't have missed coming.

Will have more time to catch up after I get home Saturday night.

Have fun all.

 

Hey G.T., glad you had a good visit, now you can rest up from your "Holiday" and get back to work

 

I'm glad you had a good time, G.T.

For someone living in Sweden, Thanksgiving feels very remote, if I hadn't seen this thread, I wouldn't even have known it was now... I guess we don't have much to be thankful for here, this time of year, with darkness and cold that we have right now. But in a few weeks we will have the appearance of Lucia, who brings light and happiness to everyone.

 

Spending Thanksgiving with the family is the best possible way to celebrate and be thankful. Glad you had a good time with your folks. They are the most precious of times, especially with your deal in life. Nothing is better than seeing the significant others, and loved ones together and happy.

And now to rest up and take it easy for the weekend, my friend.

 

just a quick question .why do Americans celebrate thx giving when its on the 25 dec i mean what's it all about enlighten me,from a very English gentleman

 

our lass will do you a bacon sarnie 3 eggs runny 2 slices fried bread done in the same pan can you smell it

 

but why on that day

 

did you know the latest pole reveals that 70 percent of english bods don't like the yanks,well tell me something new

 

thanksgiving is not Christmas. its got something to do with starving pilgrims being fed by the natives. abe lincoln (?) made it a national holiday to 'give thanks'. turkey doesn't appear to be the mainstay of christmas in the same way it is in the UK. hope that helps. aloha

 

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks for the things one has at the close of the harvest season. In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, and in Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday in October. In the United Kingdom, Thanksgiving is another name for the Harvest festival, held in churches across the country on a relevant Sunday to mark the end of the local harvest, though it is not thought of as a major event (compared to Christmas or Easter) as it is in other parts of the world. This tradition was taken to North America by early settlers, where it became much more important.

United States

In the United States, certain kinds of food are traditionally served at Thanksgiving meals. First and foremost, turkey is usually the featured item on any Thanksgiving feast table (so much so that Thanksgiving is sometimes referred to as "Turkey Day"). Stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, Indian corn, other fall vegetables, and pumpkin pie are commonly associated with Thanksgiving dinner.

Canada

In Canada, Thanksgiving is a three-day weekend (although some provinces choose to observe a four day weekend, Friday–Monday). While the actual Thanksgiving holiday is on a Monday, Canadians might eat their Thanksgiving meal on any day of that three day weekend. This often means celebrating a meal with one group of relatives on one day, and another meal with a different group of relatives on another day. Although in English Canada Thanksgiving is often celebrated with family, it is also often a time for weekend getaways for couples to observe the autumn leaves, spend one last weekend at the cottage or participate in various outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing and hunting. The holiday is not as significant a family occasion amongst French Canadians, however

 

The day of Thanksgiving, for the celebration of the harvest isn't just an American/Canadian thing. Many countries observe similar 'Harvest Days', but most don't have a special holiday for it. Similar festive days are celebrated by some in the U.K., too.
