What is Thanksgiving – Family, Turkey Dinner, Christmas Dress Rehearsal?
For many of us here in the UK , Thanksgiving as celebrated in the United States ( Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving in October) can be a confusing affair. Many of us, unless we have American relatives and friends or have spent some time living in the States, only have access to the traditions of Thanksgiving via the medium of Hollywood movies or through the fast diminishing art that is known as reading informative books. With the history of the two countries being so intrinsically linked, it is a mystery why this particular portion of history is not (or at least it wasn’t in my education) taught in British schools.
