I’m thankful for all of you and your contributions to this forum and my number 1 passion, international sports. I celebrated in a truly Totallympian way by running a 5k (my time was 25:30 even though I stopped training 2 and 1/2 weeks ago). Have a great day, and stuff your face too . how people celebrate Thanksgiving there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally families get together and have a huge meal. It can be formal or informal. People who have to work today will often have office potlucks (a thing where everyone brings a different food item). A lot of people will do Turkey Trots (5k Runs), or attend a parade. My family will have a game night and watch the American football games that are on TV. Black Friday begins this evening, so people may go out shopping. Turkey, Ham, Potatoes, Carrots, Salads, Yams, Corn, etc. are traditional dishes, but a lot families will celebrate with a variety of differing ethnic dishies as well. The holiday is supposed to be about spending time with your family and being thankful for the things you have. It’s not that dissimilar for other meals such as Passover, Novus, Christmas, New Years, etc. Reading the Wikipedia or looking up the history of the day may help you understand more.

Bohemia 1,259 Posted November 22, 2018 #326 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Only Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, right? (like, the US and Canada, but in Canada it's not at the same time or something?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was invented as an American holiday, but that doesn’t mean that we guys or other people can’t celebrate it too. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
