Happy Thanksgiving.

So, why isn't it a national holiday here in Australia like it is in the US and Canada?

After all, we're celebrating "Black Friday" tomorrow with what the shops are hoping will be a massive spending spree by customers.

Would probably need to be a massive spending spree to pay for all of the newspaper and TV "Black Friday" ads we've been bombarded with all week.

And, if the past few years are anything to go by the following two Fridays (and every day in between) will be "Black Fridays" as well. Roll Eyes

I agree… why are we not celebrating it here in Oz.
It seems we take on all other occasions … “thanksgiving” has a nice feel about it…
Instead we are inundated with consumerism with Black Friday …but not just one day… it extends the whole week!

26th January - we celebrate the successful landfall of the Pilgrim Convict Fathers.....

Landing in Sydney Cove they heard a native cry out - "Bennelong!"... and they replied... "Been a BLOODY long journey!"

"No", he said ... 'BENNELONG!"

"OK - be along shortly - start the fire and we'll bake a turkey and have a thanksgiving feast, OK? Eh, mate - you want some rum an' smoke?"

And so it all began.... with a thanksgiving feast ...

You are an offensive relic of a by-gone era. An anachronism.

Take some comfort in Gordy though. He's a couple of decades behind you in years but behind you all the way where it counts most to you.

Nice to have some support from the young folk, eh Craps. You don't get much of that.
