Thanks giving is directly related to the first settlers in the USA isn't it? so I'd imagine it's only an American thing?

Yeah but I wonder if the UK / other countries have a day like that for their first settlers :joker:

(I didn't think so though unless I just never heard of it lol)

You all should still celebrate it! Unless the day isn't even known, which if that's the case they should've make up a day for it :hee:

Cauliflower and roasted potatoes
Taste so good to me

My son has just got back in time to celebrate...and meet 60 members of his girlfriends family.
I have a feeling it will be a no show as he hates being the centre of attention and he has pulled his back.:hehe:

(does someone want to let Nicky know that "Scottish Presbyterians were among the first migrants to America" is a basic historical fact and not some wacky punchline)

Alf 22-11-2018 04:41 PM

Not a fan of cranberry sauce or pumpkin pie. I prefer gravy and trifle.

Happy Giving Thanks Day to you, Jersey.

Erm, our settlers are more than a week old so I doubt it. :joker:

The USA is very young compared to much of the world.
