Happy Thanksgiving

[auld argonian]

See...this is one of those things for me: Thanksgiving is a US holiday...but it should certainly be celebrated throughout the world...and that goes for the holidays of every culture and nation in my book. Think of the year being one big string of celebrating EVERYBODYS holidays and all of us being conscious and considerate of EVERYBODY ELSE'S histories and beliefs.

So we in the US should happily share Thanksgiving with all nations and let's hear it on Cinco de Mayo and Canada Day and Bastille Day and let's all get it together to have a kind word for those who celebrate Hannukah and Easter and (I'm sorry, I forget the name of it) that last day of Rahmadan when the fasting is over...

...let's all raise a glass to the Queen on her birthday and to the Emperor of Japan on his birthday...how bout we toast Nelson Mandela on his...this could (and should) go on forever.

I'm with Prester John. We should remember to give thanks today. Thanksgiving should be more that a one day exercise. I just came back from a walk along the Lt. Spokane. Everytime I go, I am reminded that we should be grateful for what we have and remember those who have not. Attitude is all. Be thankful.

There wouldn't be any new kilts!

[Mr. Kilt]

My wife Karen and I wish all our American friends a very happy Thanksgiving. We hope the day is spent with all your cherished loved ones.

Rats! I hadn't thought of that, nor any whisky :confused:

Ah well......

Happy Thanksgiving all. We all have alot to be thankful for.

We had Thanksgiving at my spouse's Great Aunt's place. Every year after dinner we write our names on a piece of paper and put down what we'd like for Christmas. Then we do the Secret Santa drawing.

So of course, this year I asked for warm wool kilt socks!
