Thank you.

I know Thanksgiving isn't celebrated there but thank you for the well wishes.

And everyone else, we all have much to be thankful for, even with our everyday hardships. The fact that you are on here reading this whether you agree or not,is evidence that you are blessed, even though you may not think so.

Always be thankful for what you have because the value of it will be realized when it's gone.

Rewind a bit mate .If you know we don't celebrate thanksgiving then why wish us a good one !.Its like me wishing you a happy St Swithens day ,means nothing to you .

My sister in law is American. No doubt she'll use today to eat as much as humanly possible. Just like every other day.

 

Let's hope she isn't trying to get anywhere in a hurry. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/23/worlds-worst-traffic-jam-cars-stuck-thanksgiving-getaway-gridlock/

Ye don't even celebrate St Withins day yourselves FD.

It must be a British thing to not nationally celebrate certain days. Within small communities in Britain it seems ye will celebrate local feasts but as a nation it's like you don't want to nationaly (except Guy Faulks, but lets be honest, thats a commercial thing) be seen to celebrate anything.

Look at us Irish and how we celebrate our national Saint (who was born in France) in big style and he also celebrated all over the world, including Britain.

Fair play to the yanks and the few days the're proud to be proud off.

That's a great post pal, we should all take a step back now and then to remember how lucky we are.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours

No rewind necessary. I'm sure there are a few here besides yourself that do celebrate even if a minority. If you don't have anything to be thankful for, I'd say you need to have another look around you. I hope you realize you do.so be safe and enjoy what you have my friend.

I think it does pay every now and again to take a step back and be thankful for what we have these days. I despise a lot about the country I live in, or rather the people who have mis-managed it for a long time. I'm mixed race in a way from a family of English coal miners and Irish immigrants. The pitmen had a hard life but the Irish side had an even harder one. Of the first who came to the mainland that carried my family name things didn't go well. The mother ended her days in a poor house in Glasgow and was buried in a pauper's grave. Fast forward a relatively few generations and a nephew of mine is in his second year at the Royal Veterinary College. A massive improvement in quality of life and opportunities compared to his forefathers. But the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...he terrifies the opposition when he plays for his college football team and has only one word on the back of his shirt, GEORDIE !

You are right he's doing no harm other than wishing us something we don't do ? Just it was a pointless post tbh.

I've everything to be thankful for mate but thanksgiving ain't one of them lol.I've been in your country at this time of year and yes the mood was great and I see what your celebrating but as it was just another day here I thought it was a pointless post .I get what your saying about how lucky we are and I've seen enough of those who arnt to appreciate every day as it comes .Have a good Xmas mate and great new year .Hope your Yom Kippor is a good in too .

Think your forgetting that this is the World Wide Web.

Kind word's Uru does no harm to anybody only the crooked.

[Treehands. 1,379]

Personally for me Christmas is a religious celebration and being a nonbeliever , to celebrate it would make me a hypocrite.

I celebrate a birthday , and I wish people health and happiness twelve months of the year not just December.

 

My first post was an attempt at wit Uru ...no harm meant.

And as you say in the states "have a nice day yawl"

[uru 341]

Kind word's Uru does no harm to anybody ondon't celebrate.the crooked.

Thank you. I figured if folks didn't agree no problem.

 

But what seems does pointless was to make the effort to reply that I am wrong rather than just ignore it if you dont celebrate.

 

Oh well.I only wanted to wish a Good day to the folks here that realized my intent and that we all have things to be thankful for.time to feast.

[walshie 2,804]

Does seem a bit odd actually. If someone says Good Morning, would you say "What's good about it?"

 

Actually, scrap that thought. Most of these miserable buggers would.
