I don't really understand Thanksgiving. All I know is that us Canadians have it earlier than you Americans (oh it's the US and YOU argument!) because winter comes earlier for us. So we have to give our thanks before we're too frozen to eat.

That's what I told the exchange students anyway.

In England we have Easter, Halloween, Christmas, but no Thanksgiving!

I've often wondered what it's really all about.

Would you say it's sort of the same as Christmas, eating lots, seeing family, gettings gifts?

Do you actually get gifts on Thanksgiving?

Do all the shops close and you get time off work?

Which is more important to most people, Christmas or Thanksgiving?

I think that's enough questions...

I love your blog. It's hilarious. It genuinely cracked me up.

That's an... interesting way to describe Thanksgiving. I didn't know what it was until now.

And Halloween? Well, everyone's door we knocked on gave us lollies. I don't know if it was that they pitied us for our poor choice of costume or what. Guess I'll never know.

[morgan] Sunday, December 2nd

Haha I love your blog. It cracks me up.

That's an... interesting way to describe Thanksgiving. I didn't know what it was until now.

And Halloween? Everyone gave us lollies. I don't if it was that they pitied our poor choice of costume, or if they genuinely thought 'hey, these kids have good costumes'. Hmm.

[Ana] Thursday, November 29th

[Ali] Tuesday, November 20th

Oh the slaughtering of indigenous peoples. What a joyous holiday.

TURKEY!

Also, I uploaded a grassboy SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU. It is exctiing.

[Jan] Tuesday, November 20th

We don't really celebrate Thanksgiving in Norway. It sounds like a really nice tradition.

[Thao] Tuesday, November 20th

No crap on the eating without reservation deal. I like food and so I LOVE Thanksgiving.

To me, Thanksgiving also means shopping. Lots of shopping. I like shopping. Therefore, I like Thanksgiving.

I am so deep today. Call me Ghandi.

[Sydney] Monday, November 19th

hey there connie! i love your explanation of thanksgiving. the caucasion part of me has always been like "oh joy, thanksgiving!", but the native american in me always says "oh crap, not again." i used to think "oh well, there's turkey!" but now that i'm a vegetarian, i just shut my mouth and head for the tofu. :P

[Courtney] Monday, November 19th

ONLY 3 DAYS CONNIE, OMG. :D

[CeCe] Monday, November 19th

Thanks for saying why you celebrate Thanksgiving. I never really knew. We don't celebrate it here in Norway you see.

[Kaisa] Sunday, November 18th

It's weird for me to read American blogs around this time of the year, because I've never really understood why Thanksgiving is celebrated. So, thank you for explaining Thanksgiving to me in such a short and simple way. I have very small and simple brain so that sunk in well :P

[Kudarania] Saturday, November 17th

I like Thanksgiving because it means almost a week off from school and work. Huzzah!

[Jess] Friday, November 16th

Lmao, I LOVE your description of thanksgiving =P I'm from Australia, so I don't really know what it's about. Giving thanks to America for something? Eating turkey. That's all I know =P

Enjoy every moment of it, cause the day that it ends, you'll have almost another full year to wait! =P

[Sasha] Wednesday, November 14th

Yes, Thanksgiving! I LOVE food, I plan to cook a lot :D So much good food. Then you have to go out at 6AM the next morning to go Black Friday shopping with all the crazy people and GET THE GOOD DEALs, and then feel superior because when you're leaving, all the crowds are getting there and looking miserable, oh yes. good times! :D

BTW, I think the Native Americans gave the Europeans syphilis! Though not really quite payback enough, I supposed.

[Esme] Tuesday, November 13th

wow, i visit so many sites and only yours so far actually tells me what "thanksgiving" was all about lol, cos yeah im from australia.

[Niki] Tuesday, November 13th

The word thanksgiving makes me think about the great show called Friends. I guess that is where I first came across it.
So yea, we don't celebrate thanksgiving here, but I did know it is sometime before Christmas. :)

[Stephanie] Tuesday, November 13th

Haha, I'm in America, and Thanksgiving to me is four day weekenddd xP And of course, all my cousins come back from college, whoot, and I can talk about my awkwardness with guys, lmfao.
And the next day is Black Friday, of coursee. Yay shopping.
"And we just ended up giving them diseases and having sex with their women."
Hahahahahaa.
Maybe they're related.
SYPHILIS! CHLAMYDIA. GONORRHEAAAA. whoot, lmfao.

[Nanda] Tuesday, November 13th

I've heard of Thanksgiving (the word), but I have no idea when it is and what people are celebrating. I think the only place they celebrate it is America? I don't know. Halloween seems useless to me, I mean, in my country we don't celebrate it either (another American thing?) but I don't understand what's so fun about dressing up like an idiot and giving sweets to little children who beg for it (little kids begging for sweets doesn't seem right either, especially when they knock on the door of a stranger)?

[Exene] Monday, November 12th

Haha giving them disease and such. That's Thanksgiving. Well I'm not really that into it. I don't like Turkey and my relatives don't like me.

[Chels] Monday, November 12th

ROTFLMAO.
You're hilarious. Honestly.
Your theory of Thanksgiving owns every other one.
That's what it should say on Wikipedia. ;)

In Canada, we have Thanksgiving in October. Seems more like the Turkey season, yeah? =D
But it's really about coming together with your relatives, or whatever.
With tons of food.
& That's all I honestly get from Thanksgiving.
& Then the following day is just like every other.
What a bummer.

& Halloween.
That's pretty much how it is over here as well.
You don't have candy.
You get your house egged in return if you've got your lights on in the house & you're not answering. :P

Anyways, I hope you've been well!
& Take care!
xx. Chels.

[ciel] Monday, November 12th

yes i'm one of those none-american visitors. i have to say halloween is getting a little more popular over here each year, but it's definitely not a big thing. thanksgiving is something most people have never heard of. except those who watch a lot of american tv series... where they always celebrate it. it seems like a nice way to start the holidays...

[terin selena] Monday, November 12th

Good ol thanksgiving. The time of the Indians and Pilgrims and so forth. I'm just excited about eating. LOL!

[Lil] Monday, November 12th

I used to live in the States so once upon a time Thanksgiving did mean something to me. We celebrated it for the longest time when we came to England but not lately. Shame cause I love pumpkin pie D: I might suggest we celebrate it again this year :) To me it's about family and eating - you pretty much covered it.

[Minna] Monday, November 12th

Oh yeah Swedish blogging...what was that all about? :P

[Minna] Monday, November 12th

Nah Thanksgiving doesn't mean anything to me, would be silly if it did - I mean how could it possibly? :P The idea is nice though, We have All Saints night when we remember the dead and light candles all over the graveyards of Sweden (that's our version of halloween I guess, hehe) and then we have Walpurgis Night when we welcome the spring...and Midsummer when we celebrate the turn of summer. That's pretty much what we do over here :) In non-Christian traditions of course, we do have Christmas and Easter too...

[Jessie] Monday, November 12th

ohh thanks for changing the text colour I can see everything much better now :)

I've looked into Halloween before, it's got a fascinating tradition starting with the Celts I think, and then Americans eventually commercialized it and made it into the widely-known candy sort of holiday it is now.

thanksgiving means nothing to me, haha, because it's an American holiday. A couple of decades ago Australia had a celebration of 100 years of Federation and it make the Aborigines angry because they were treated really badly when the English convicts and all that arrived. People seem to have a problem with violence and discrimination when they're taking over another country, don't they?

thanks for the comments on my site. xxx

[cynthia] Monday, November 12th

no way! it's not that i want you to save money, it's gonna save ME money. >:P tee hee, am i a bad person now? LOL.

mostly i just describe it as family time now... nothing really more than that, my family doesn't really celebrate it. except for the fact that it makes a damn good excuse to go out and go to the cheesecake factory. x1

[Andre] Sunday, November 11th

haha connie you pretty much summed thanksgiving and halloween up nicely.

family would be something around the holidays i presume.

[Courtney] Sunday, November 11th

Yeah, I think THX does sound for movies. =O OMG, the holiday season is my favorite time, too! I count down until Christmas, though I really love the time leading up to it more than the day. I think December 27th is the most depressing day. At least the 26th you have all day to wear your new clothes and play with your new toys. (Yes, I want toys.) Hmm, you don't like Halloween? I like it a lot...namely because it's so different from all the other holidays. Yeah, the black text is a little hard to read. Maybe you could use light-ish gray/white?
