Personally, I always loved Thanksgiving, because it's not an explicitly religious holiday, yet it is the celebration of gratitude for Americans. I'm really really annoyed that some Australians are adopting it like Halloween. WTF?! Halloween is universal, and because the giant fruit bats return, it sorta goes, even though it's springtime. But Thanksgiving? No. NO! People should not be fattening themselves on the harvest in the springtime. Maybe eat the moldy pieces left in the root cellar, but gorging? NO! Besides, the aboriginals here were skeptical, territorial, and attempted to repulse the invaders right off the bat. One was captured and taken back to England. He was seen as a traitor by his people. There was no Thanksgiving here. The crops were eaten by ants and other insects and the locals laughed.
