also,
we get a holiday for a Queen we don`t want or need,who hates visiting us
we get a holiday to remember our war dead who died for the same queen.
we get a holiday to recognise all the indigenous people we massacred and stole from. 
we get 3 days off for a public execution that happened 2000 years ago and eat chocolate rabbits.
we get 3 days off for someones birthday,even though it`s months early.
 
unfortunately I have always been selfemployed so none of it really matters.
oh well 




I didn't realise you lived in Scotland.

Here in Britain the concept of Thanksgiving is pretty far-fetched as we generally have absolutely nothing to be grateful for
 
HTH




 
Hey, come on now, that's just not true.
 
What about Nectar Points?




Yes I forgot about those and of course our National Treasure the former Mrs Cheryl Cole amd his lovely wife the Rt. Hon Wayne Rooney, and a National Health service that has worked tirelessly to rid me of all my mental health issues.
 
I'm happy to state that I no longer have to take a spare pair of elasticated trousers to the resource centre and its been months since I ate an entire jigsaw puzzle while I was there.  Apparently that makes me a winner.

We give thanks for Bapu's favourite time signature?

no mention of the Turducken yet-isn`t that a thanksgiving thing?
or will the software forbid Turd Ucken-we will see how many asterisks that gets...
testing...................................

I don't mind if Brits here don't celebrate it. However Independence day is another matter. 





You should thank pesky ol' Napoleon for that holiday, he doesn't get nearly enough recognition...


Hey, we like the French! I know, I know.
