Which Thanksgiving do you celebrate?

[Knightfall]

Okay, America's Thanksgiving is coming up on Thursday, while Canada's Thanksgiving Day was on October 9th this year (always on the second Monday of the month).

Those in the UK celebrate the Harvest Festival, which is sometimes called Thanksgiving. (Harvest Festivals were traditionally held on or near the Sunday of the Harvest Moon. This moon is the full moon which falls in the month of September.)

Now, the question is which Thanksgiving do you celebrate? Do you celebrate both American Thanksgiving and Canadian Thanksgiving? Who, outside of the UK, celebrates the Harvest Festival?

Vote to be heard!

I don't celebrate Thanksgiving (living in the Netherlands), but a close friend of mine does, so I try to make an appearance for her sake.

American. We'll be going over to grndmother's house this year. For the first time since she moved to AZ.

American. Won't be celebrating this year though. I'm working so the the family is heading to my wife's folks place for the feast. Meanwhile I will be working 12 hour shifts and enjoying a Thanksgiving pizza. If I am feeling festive I might try and mold the pizza into a turkey shape though!!

American, at my brother's mother-in-law's place-- thirty or more people, two turkeys, no waiting, paper plates because no-one wants to do that many dishes, and I'll sit at the kids' table...

I'm bringing cheese and ice cream to go with the pies, and volunteered for clean-up...

(Does anyone else like cheese on their apple pie? The mom-in-law does, but I'm unconvinced...)

Apple pie and cheese were made for each other. And it's canadian thanksgiving for me. It is far too cold to have harvest now...

Harvest Festival is pretty rare in the Uk, maybe still celebrated amongst church goers, but that'd be about it.

LOL, good luck!

American for me, and I'll be working, but I was told work will feed me/us.

For the first time, celebration of (American) Thanksgiving comes to my place. My wife and I usually made the rounds of our parents' homes, but this year, people are coming to us. So, no travel, but all the cooking. Not a bad trade, I suppose.
