Thanks JD. Although not really an event here, it gets me in the mood for Christmas. There will also be some NFL on ASN tomorrow morning. :D Pete :cheers:

Yes, thanks JD! This is the holiday that I miss being back in the states the most. As we grow up and go our individual ways many of us don't see our Families often and Thanksgiving is the holiday when my entire family made an effort to get together at least once a year.

I was often introduced to new nephews/nieces (or great nephews/nieces) on this holiday as I had not seen the majority of the family since the previous year.

It was also the day when I started to put on my "winter coat"! :oops: :D

Thanks JD!! :cheers:

I'm cooking for 40+, 2 turkeys, prime rib, ham, pies, etc, etc

I enjoy it, each year the numbers grow, mainly my sons college friends who don't go home for the holiday.

You're right, Thanksgiving is my favorite time. Any holiday devoted to food, drink and football is my favorite :cheers: Christmas for the kids

Tacking this on to last year's thread as what was said then also applies now. Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow to all the Americans on here. A non-event here really but brings back fond memories for many of us of the Thanksgivings we celebrated in the States in the past.

You can now make it what you want here though. Thankful that we're here in this Kingdom, thankful that JD's HHHB has all the food you will need to prepare any feast, and that American football is on ASN. :D :thumb: Pete :cheers:

Same wishes to all from here, whether you celebrate it, or not, let's be thankful for what we do have! It could always be worse! :cheers: :cheers:

When I was a small boy in Britain which was at that time a much more Christian Country than it is today, one of the most colourful Sundays was Harvest Thanksgiving--which was the inspiration for US T'giving.
The churches would be filled with wheat, vegatables and fruit and we celebrated that the lord had provided for us---"We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land, but it is fed and watered by God's almighty and" we sang.

Happy Turkey Day to everyone too. I miss this holiday since I've been in England for the past 3 years.
