Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. May tomorrow be filled with nothing but good things! Especially good beer!
Cheers!

So picture it. You emigrate to a foreign country you know very little about for whatever reason. You bring your own customs, your own religion (or lack thereof) and your own holidays. Someone at the job you have started in your new country asks what you are doing for a holiday coming up. When you ask about the holiday he tells you it isnt religious or political, and the real retail aspect doesnt happen until a day AFTER the holiday (though supermarkets make a killing on food). All you have to do is eat, drink, and think about what you are thankful for. And get this, if you have a friend or coworker who is alone on that day but happens to have a completely different religion than you, he doesnt even have to think about it before accepting your invitation to come over.
Y'gotta wonder if new arrivals are blown away by the idea. It may be the single best thought-out holiday in the history of mankind.
I really think for the reasons above Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. That and stuffing. I'd kill a man with a ladle for stuffing.
