Is it one of those days when most workers are allowed the day off?
 
I hate to break it to you Nebulous, but not all North Americans have Thanksgiving right now

We had ours months ago. We have a big feast, a family get together, and an overall great time to see people you haven't seen since Easter

We get Bank Holidays here, don't know if you get them outside of the UK? Most people have the day off for that but my fiance gets 2 days off for every Bank Holiday cause he works for one of the local councils. Lucky bloke!

We watch the parade (Macy's - woohoo!) and then we go to my grandparent's house. We have Thanksgiving lunch - turkey, ham, dressing, and a lot more. Then we watch football...well, the guys do, anyway. All the kids stay in one of the bedrooms and watch TV. I love Thanksgiving - I see family I only see on Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

On Saturday, my brothers and I are going to my dad's girlfriend's parents' house for Thanksgiving. We'll see how that goes...
 
Dinner, hopefully some footballl...we don't make a huge deal out of it in my family

Thanksgiving is a great day. Not exactly like Christmas, but a day set aside to count your blessings. There is usually lots of good food and fellowship. Special programs on TV. Football games, and waaaaaaaaaaay tooo much food.
 
They should have something like that in the UK

Honestly? I am planning on hiding from my relatives. I like my immediate family, but I do not like the rest of them.
