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?

Ignore my earlier question about the Canadian Thanksgiving.

I didn't know those hats had a name.

Not only do they have a name....contrary to depiction, those hats did NOT normally have the buckle on them, that misconception came from 19th century illustration.
