Thanksgiving in New England

[BeerMoney]

Awesome. Best Holiday.

Football game vs. Rival Highschool.
Everyone starts drinking McGuillicuddy's at 8a.m.
See all of your h.s. peers at the game.
Appropriate foliage to go with the holiday.
Everyone's mom knows how to cook a kick-ass turkey.
Cap off the night at some local watering hole where all of the young people in that town meet up at.

In Jersey we start things off the night before at a local bar where you see everyone from high school. Then on Thursday morning people go to football game half drunk and starting to get a bad hangover, then after the game nobody wants to eat. But it's still my favorite holiday for the same reasons you have.

I can't believe you guys are giving thanks for not still being part of the British Empire. I mean we've got creative dentists, we're right next to France and near to Germany, we have Hugh Grant, we have an exciting mass transit system that just keeps you guessing....

Actually, I want in.

St. Louis-
Go out wednesday night for the busiest bar night of the year...by a wide margin. Whole city gets hammered with friends they havent seen in ages. Then I have to wake up thursday morning, play a little football, then dinner at 3 with my family. Thursday night we all meet at a friends house with leftovers, and get drunk all over again. Its a little to warm here though, 50 degrees.

You're right, I screwed it up... That is the order. I haven't been back home in 5 years for thanksgiving, so I forgot.

Not to worry then, because that's not what Thanksgiving is about. You must be thinking of the 4th of July, when we celebrate kicking your tax happy asses out of our country.

Oh man it never occured to me that you people don't get thanksgiving. Assloads of turkey and mash potatoes and gravy and pumpkin pie and stuffing and beer and football and friends and family... Britain should really work on being officially accepted as the 51st state.
