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?

They've succeeded in supporting St Patrick's Day wholesale of course using the (reasonable enough) excuse of a large Anglo Irish community but that's just another booze fest.

After all, I have both Breizh and Romani ancestry but I don't rush out to celebrate St Anne or Sara e Kali (Saint Sarah).
