[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanksgiving is really admired by non Americans because it doesn’t involve religion, gifts, questionable heroes* — it’s just a time to be together and be thankful. So let’s not ruin it. And it’s the kinds of holiday that becomes more powerful the more inclusive it is. It doesn’t get weird like Christmas can be — an amalgam of a Very Religious Holiday and a kids gift bonanza for practicing and non practicing alike. *yes the schools emphasize the pilgrim part[/quote] +1. My British relatives love it and sometimes they even show up here to share the turkey and veggie offerings. To them (and probably to most Americans), it's not about giving thanks for conquering somebody else's land, instead it's about giving thanks that you're sharing a good meal with family.[/quote]
