Thanksgiving is upon this coming Thursday so I picked up a 29.25 pound fresh Turkey and My in laws are coming over for a big Turkey dinner.
Is there a British holiday where you make way to much food and the whole point is to eat and drink till your sick?
We Yanks are odd come to think of it. :mental:
BTW: been awhile since I've been on hope all is well.

Yes we do

Its called Christmas

If you were to see the size of peoples supermarket trolly's you would think the world is coming to an end

Stacked high , Most of it would go in the big when its all out of date

For me its just another day , NO special shopping , I keep things real ;)

Pardon my ignorance, but what are you all giving thanks for? :scratch:

No scratch that, just found the answer on Wikipedia:

"Thanksgiving Day (Jour de l'Action de grāce in Canadian French) is a national holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. Several other places around the world observe similar celebrations. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States and on the second Monday of October in Canada. Thanksgiving has its historical roots in religious and cultural traditions, and has long been celebrated in a secular manner as well."

Just another excuse for a piss up then :lol:
