been here before Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Surely only a matter of time before we import that holiday and its associated customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 We had an exchange of emails today with our friends from California. She didn't mention the holiday, it's principles or indeed many of it's customs (as mentioned by @been here before above) She talked about turkeys, cookies, cranberries, Smeg fridges, gifts for her children and Black Friday. Something wrong there, me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to import Thanksgiving, import the Canadian version. Everything is more or less the same as the American version, except that it occurs in October when the weather is much kinder.

Helzibob Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I spend every thanks giving with my best friend and 30+ American students and faculty. What always amazes me is how much food they all put away. I had one plate of food then some pie for afters. I watched one girl eat 3 plates of main and then 2 slices of pie for dessert. Not sure where she put it, she was a skinny wee thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 It's a great holiday, even if the Pilgrim story is mostly bullshit and has been used to celebrate genocide in the past. Would be kind of weird to import it to Europe, though. Plenty of other excuses to have a harvest festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
