How is everyone celabrating thanksgiving?

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Simple question. How are you?

I'm starting off the day with some Arkham City and Trauma Team, than heading to the families for some food and family stuff.

Happy thanksgiving everyone~!

I'm not actually. The USA might have that holliday, but the European side of the world does not.
I suppose I am just sitting in my room and playing Skyrim like every day later on?

"Simple question. How are you?"
I'm good, thanks for asking.
But in all seriousness, I'm not celebrating.
Happy 'any other day of the year' to my fellow non-americans.

I'm spending time with the boyfriends family this thanksgiving. Probably gonna lurk here for a little longer then go help out with cooking. Wish me luck on not burning down the house!

I'm not and I don't plan to. I'm not even entirely sure what Thanksgiving is about. All I know is you lot state-side like to roast turkeys and then eat it (which is what I do most sundays, but normally with beef/chicken); and then somehow that becomes a big deal.

You say "thanks for the food on our plate" but I don't understand why - as it's not directed at anyone in particular and nobody went out of their way to get it for you. You bought it from a shop, who takes a profit, who bought it from a farmer/butcher/factory, who also makes a liveable profit from it; and they do it all year long. So who are you being grateful to? them?

You say "thanks" for people going out of their way for you, such as buying you a gift, or giving you a hand with something when they didn't have to; not for something you do all fucking year for ~ 1000 meals, but only say "thanks" after 1 "special" fest! With that logic you should call up the people who get your food to you and say thanks to them, and their workers, and the fucking cows/turkeys/fucking potatoes - or you can say thanks after every bloody meal! Tsh.

YEAH I'M FUCKING JELLY I WANT AN EXTRA HOLIDAY FOR A FUCKING LAME REASON!

[small]...but it's still a pretty pathetic bullshit holiday that's outdated now you're no longer colonies labouring over your own food.[/small]

But happy -whateverdatedtraditionthisdayiscelebrating- to you too, thanks for your happy -whateverdatedtraditionthisdayiscelebrating- to us too.

I'll be eating roasted beef soonish. Playing with the band and then Batman: AC on pc tomorrow. Life is good!

From what I know about the holiday, it's not seen by all as a well deserved holiday, mostly by the "natives"

I am celebrating it the American way. Eating way to much, watching the parade then falling into a food coma in front of football. I might get in a fight with in laws. I do thing traditionally as you can see.
