Down Under we don't have Thanksgiving (maybe because our first settlers were probably weren't all that grateful - Read "The Fatal Shore" if you're interested), and we don't go in for turkey-bingeing at Christmas much either, because it's mid-summer here and usually stinking hot. Personally I prefer lobster salad...
snubnose:
Whats "Thanksgiving" ? :?
dragonkiri:
I sorta skimmed the thread so I'm not sure if this came up yet, but I wonder if all of this would have been easier if Marten had just told Steve where Cosette worked.

I've read TFS. Gave me a new perspective on that Mick Jagger film (Ned Kelly, still don't like it, but I do understand it), and let me get more of the jokes in Terry Pratchett's The Last Continent.*

I certainly don't wear them. But in the world of fashion and popular attire, I live in, well, some outback town probably only Akima actually knows about. Or, to put it in local parlance, "so far back in the woods they have to pipe in sunshine."
*Seriously, The Fatal Shore's an excellent book.

Basically a North American harvest festival. Last chance to really pig out before the Dark Days of Winter start up.
Also commemorates one of the few times colonists and Indians were not at each other's throats. Very multi-culti.
