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)

Oh, that was like 9000 years ago or something when settlers first arrived in Ireland :laugh:

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:

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:

Scottish Presbyterians

[Nicky91]

Scottish Presbyterians

:laugh2:

[MB.]

(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]

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

[Calderyon]

Happy Giving Thanks Day to you, Jersey.

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

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.

...yes, the first European settlers in America were Presbyterians, Puritans and the like who wanted to invade somewhere that was considerably less Catholic-y
