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

MMMmmmmm .... but it has to be a really sharp cheddar. a nice extra old does nicely.

American, though I want to celebrate all three now! More excuses to celebrate!

American


Give me Turkey, Cranberry, Potato, Beans, Gravy, Pumpkin Pie, Apple Pie, Rolls, Applesause, and anything else that lands on the table.

Digest gently watching Football and/or talking with family about what we are thankful for.

Yup

This year I bought Extra Sharp Hunters Cheddar.

Inlaws use Sage Cheese.

American Thanksgiving ... always have. I actually like the holiday. One of the few that hasn't been commerically exploited (too badly at least).

I'm a 'Merkin living in Alberta, so I currently represent the (single, at last count) "Celebrates American AND Canadian Thanksgiving" segment.

My wife's family is up here because we didn't have the time or money to come down. We're hitting a Chinese food place tomorrow. It'll be fun.

And we actually traveled down to see my wife's family on our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend.

Really, I guess we just use the holidays to pad our vacation hours.

I don't celebrate any of those =/ Now I feel unfestive. Thanks.....

I think if I did it would be Harvest, I do think I saw an ad on the chuch billboard (sort of) for a Thanksgiving thing. Maybe they meant Harvest Festival? I'm kind of against the americanisation of english culture. Nothing wrong with american culture, but I'd like to preserve my own countries first.

Canadian for me

I don't really celebrate it though, per se, moreso my family just gets together to eat and chat and all that stuff.

cheers,

Those in the UK celebrate the Harvest Festival, which is sometimes called Thanksgiving.

Never heard of it. Sorry. Someone update wikipedia, please.
