base689 0 #3 May 18, 2006 > do you celebrate turkey day? Neither in Italy. Granted that it is celebrated neither in Italy nor in UK (anglosaxon country), I would guess turkey day is a US only holiday.Stay safe out there Blue Skies and Soft Walls BASE #689 - base_689AT_NO_123_SPAMyahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would assume that since Thanksgiving represents a meal that the Pilgrims shared with the native americans in Massachusetts that no other countries would give a shit about it. Why would they? QuoteOrigins of Thanksgiving Following a nineteenth century tradition, most Americans recognize that the first American Thanksgiving was a feast that took place on an unremembered date, sometime in the autumn of 1621, at Plymouth Plantation, Massachusetts. In 1620, a group of Puritans, who were heading for Virginia, got blown off-course and landed at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts, instead. In the autumn of 1621, they celebrated a three-day thanksgiving feast with the native Wampanoag people, without whom they would not have survived the winter of 1620. It is this Thanksgiving tradition that is ultimately the immediate ancestor to both American and Canadian Thanksgiving - having been transported to Canada by United Empire Loyalists after the American War for Independence.__ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
