Thanksgiving

[poliphilo]

According to the news sheet they display at the checkout in Waitrose one in every ten Brits is now celebrating Thanksgiving.

What!

Why?

It's not our history.

Why put yourself to all the trouble and expense of a second gourmandising winter festival when it isn't mandatory?

Thanksgiving is an American festival- celebrating the harvest. According to an article I read yesterday the British are beginning to adopt it. I think one winter festival (meaning Christmas) is quite enough.
