Just thought I’d wish all my American friends a Happy Thanksgiving. We don’t do this holiday in the UK, in fact as far as I know it is exclusively an American thing, but that doesn’t exclude me from passing on my good wishes to you all.
I’m not really sure what it’s all about to be honest, and Thanksgiving is the only holiday I haven’t spent in America. It always seems like it would be a fun one though, I nearly went to New Hampshire for it one year, that would have been great, but I passed on it to spend Christmas there instead and I have to say that was the most magical Christmas ever.
The classic John Hughes film ‘Planes Trains and Automobiles‘ was set at this time of year I believe. That is just such a funny film. I think I’ll watch that again tonight. In fact I have a friend coming over for Pizza later but I’m feeling all festive now so I think I’ll upgrade dinner into something that resembles a more ‘Thanksgiving’ style feast. But if I’m going to do that I need to go to the shops right now and get the stuff.
Have a great day everyone!

We just remember what good things God has blessed us with and spend time with friends and family and eat

I grew up in New Hampshire and I’m planning on moving back there sometime soon. (Hopefully REALLY soon). It is a beautiful place to be all year round, expecially Christmas time. I miss it.Thanksgiving was something that the pilgrims celebrated with the indians to give thanks for a good harvest. Now we just celebrate it to give thanks for whatever it is that we have to be thankful for.Happy Thanksgiving :)

Haha your picture is absolutely sick, do you know that?
Thank you for the good wishes. Even though I’m not an American either, I’ve gotten to spend the holiday here 5 times now, and I gotta admit, I love all that extra turkey and pie ;-)

Only six days left until Dec 1. Then you can have your own little Thanks Giving.
Or is that Thanks Getting?

I do love Thanksgiving. The best part about it (to me as an observer of people) is always the little dramas that unfold like tiny early Christmas gifts. Oh, and the overabundance of food…that too.Thanks for the good thoughts. You should definately try and have an American Thanksgiving. Put it on the list.

Happy belated Turkey Day, mate. Gobble Gobble! “They killed ‘Big-Bird’!”

You should try an American Thanksgiving, you’d like it. :)
Canadians have Thanksgiving too, but theirs is on the second Monday in October.

I used to live in New Hampshire. Beautiful country, yet too cold for my preference!
