I hate Yank Thanksgiving

[Barrister]

All the American posters are stuffing their faces with turkey, and making this place a lot quieter today.   

[Josquius]

It probally messes up TV schedules unecessarily too.
Probally.
Nothing I'm desperate to watch right now.

Hey, General Meade killed thousands of Southerners so that we could eat turkey today - show some respect.

Boohoo.

[Admiral Yi]

I would post a nasty response but I'm too stoned on turkey.

You people are really letting me down on a boring office day.

I'm curious, did this tradition ever came to Canada with the massive loyalists influx?  When we have our Thanksgiving, do you guys celebrate in any way? 

I'm usually at work on Thanksgiving, having a no-phone day in the office is quite a relieve!   And so far as I know in Quebec, there's no such thing as family tradition for Thanksgiving.

Absolutely.  It's a big family feast kind of thing like the Americans do.

I don't think it's uniquely American (or North American) however - people have 'harvest festivals' all over the world.

Thanksgiving holiday postdates the Revolution by almost a hundred years.  It was made a holiday during the civil war.  It's a Yankee holiday.  No Southerners allowed.

It's a lot huger in the States than it is up here (Canada). You guys have parades and football and stuff. We just have turkey.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that you've turned it into a four-day orgy. That allows family to gather from all over the States, moreso than Christmas, where it's just a one-day event.

Here, Christmas is at the very minimum, a two day event (Dec 26th is a holiday). And most of us take Christmas Eve off, turning it into a three day event and on most years, this runs into the weekend. In fact I normally am able to take Dec 24th to Jan.2 off, only using up two or three days of vacation.

Don't say that... some Euros might actually believe you.  If you want to practice disinformation go work for Hans.
