    American Thanksgiving: European Reflections

    How do you feel about our, US, Thanksgiving Holiday?

    Do feel angry that in some small way it signaled a new age of colonialism followed by a sweeping degraded of colonialism, rise of Western influence, and your eventual fall of power?

    Do you feel disgusted that us fat Americans would actually have a holiday that celebrates feasting and football which is not soccer?

    Are you indifferent, and wonder why Canadians have Thanksgiving in Februtober?

    Are you Thankful in that the US markets are closed and we can't do anything on that day to screw up the world economy?

    The Canadian thanksgiving makes more sense as it coincides with the harvest.

    Also, the US thanksgiving is too close to Christmas. TOO MUCH TURKEY within a month or so.

          The ham is to taunt Jesus of course.

                What's this "too much turkey" balderdash?

                        My dad (formerly Canadian, originally a Brit), during a conversation with a sister-in-law across the pond said (just to mess with me, I've no doubt) "They have funny Thanksgiving in America, you know. And they thank themselves."

                        I got a chuckle out of that last bit. Ah, my dad. A natural troll born long before his time...

                        The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.
