Re: Happy Thanksgiving
I 'd like to talk about Thanksgiving in a more general sense.
Not just about the one holiday in the United States, but about simular feasts all over the world and in different cultures an religions.
Here in Germany we had the "Erntedankfest" last Sunday.

Here is some information about the German way of "Thanksgiving":
Thanksgiving in Germany, or Erntedankfest, has a long tradition, particularly in rural areas. It’s a celebration to give thanks for the successful collection of the harvest which guarantees another year without starvation. While in the United States, Thanksgiving is an important secular holiday, including a weekend, with the emphasis on family get-togethers and the consumption of a turkey as the central celebration, Erntedankfest in Germany is a religious occasion. Church services dominate the day, and it’s a religious festival equally celebrated by Catholics and Protestants. Well known is the Erntedankgottesdientin Berlin, Germany’s capital,with three services during the day. Erntedankfest is usually celebrated on the first Sunday in October.
And who knows about "Thanksgiving" in other countries?Comment

Re: Happy Thanksgiving
I'm throwing Thanksgiving dinner, Canadian style, tomorrow. I usually do it on Sunday (even though the actual holiday is on Monday...it's not an official holiday in Germany so no one has the day off), but my boyfriend has to go back to Cologne on Sunday.Comment

Re: Happy Thanksgiving
It's in October and we usually have dinner in the evening. All of my American friends do dinner in the Afternoon. I could never really stomach it and it's a huge pain to get organized for a big meal by 2 pm. I'd rather sleep in and start cooking at 1!Originally posted by Larix View PostThe German "Erntedankfest" is always on a Sunday - so everybody has the day off.

No one celebrates Erntedankfest in Berlin, unfortunately, so my Thanksgiving celebrations are kind of unique here!Comment

Re: Happy Thanksgiving
I had no idea other countries had some form of Thanksgiving. I'm guessing you all raided and conquered your indigenous peoples too?

I'm conflicted.
My great grandfather's name was Adolfo Steinfield. No jokes.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving
It occurs to me that I'm using SB humor on PF and that historically this is ends unpredictably so to explain the joke in advance, take a look at how many nations Germany successfully annexed right before invading Poland. If all those areas had been successfully held and integrated than Germany would successfully have conquered a number of indigenous people in the late 1930s.Originally posted by MaskedOne View Post
Also, note, the complete lack of mention about who was running Germany at the time? It's deliberate.life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving
I am awaiting a book I ordered about celebrations around the world, so my thoughts seem to have inclined in this direction as well. I will post any surprising discoveries.

RIP
I have never been across the way
Seen the desert and the birds
You cut your hair short
Like a shush to an insult
The world had been yelling
Since the day you were born
Revolting with anger
While it smiled like it was cute
That everything was shit.
