    As a non-American this means as much to me as black Friday.


    Merry Christmas.

    Just to explain,
    Thanksgiving day is the day that the Americans give thanks for having plenty. Its the day before Black Friday, the day that they decide actually they haven't got enough after all and rip apart anybody who gets in their way to stop the other person stealing their 'bargain' :D

    I have to admit I agree.

    I'd not heard of black Friday until last year when there was a push by major retailers to induce a feeding frenzy.

    Remember that clip on the news last year battling over the tellys. That was tesco in Batley. I might nip down tomorrow just for the spectacle. :)

    Happy Thanksgiving Redarmy.
    A far better holiday than Christmas IMO.
    We met with some other Anglo-American couples last Saturday for a Thanksgiving party, there were about 20 of us.
    enjoy the Pumpkin Pie
