So I hear Thanksgiving is in a week.

[Emmzee]

What are you guys doing? Foreigners, do you do anything special instead of Thanksgiving?

I'm frying up a turkey at my grandparent's house an hour from here. This year I use the Cajun seasoning.

[BEEF!!!]

Make mashed potatoes. Possibly fap. Repeat due to divorced parents.

[Rob Oplawar]

I'm going to be frantically working right up to Thanksgiving day, and then on that day I will release the alpha test to my chosen testers and all will be well. And I will eat my own weight in turkey, mashed potatoes, and everything else that will fit in my mouth. And then I will sleep much. God, it can't happen soon enough. But then again, I need moar time to finish! D=

[Ki11a_FTW]

going to my cousins house and having a huge party :awesome:

[Snowy]

WHAT'S UP WITH EVERYBODY PUTTING THEIR THREAD TITLE IN CAPS?

Did I miss the memo?

[Sever]

I'm going up to NYC on Tuesday with my sis to see our relatives. And our parents aren't coming with (thank god). I'll be back on Sunday, but I might be on from time to time throughout that stretch.

e: CAPS ARE AWESOME!

[rossmum]

Nothing.

[Aerowyn]

Since my family is moving to a new house the week after thanksgiving (this is an hour away from where we live now), and I'm fighting it as hard as I can, I'm going with Jason to see HIS family for thanksgiving.

I feel like my parents are tearing me and Jason apart just to spite me. So I'm not having any part of any holiday with them right now.

[Emmzee]

Nothing.
:smith:

[rossmum]

Well, we're like, 'oh, it's thanksgiving'. Then we may eat turkey. Otherwise, no - the only reason we acknowledge it at all is because both dad and I are Canadian and mum lived there for over 10 years anyway.

[Roostervier]

HAVING MAH FAMILY OVER! Also, celebrating my birthday the day after (last year Thanksgiving and the anniversary of my birth were on the same day :awesome:).

[Archon23]

Nothing. :downs:

JUST LIKE LAST YEAR.

[Skiiran]

Sleeping.

Because goddamn school motherfuckers WON'T LET ME WHEN I FINISH WORKING.

[Atty]

Enjoy my day off work and possibly spend time with my family.

[Teh Ganon]

I'll be doing MASSIVE research on the best black friday deals. And eat good fudz at my house :)

[Mass]

Moms cooking up her turkey, I don't care what anyone thinks: I am one of those people who finds their mom's cooking better than everything else. Only shitty part is some of my family is going to see their in laws. What is the point of having a fully functional family if you don't get to eat with them on thanksgiving? Anyway, yeah it shall be tasty and restful. Also, homemade pumpkin pie with gingersnap crust shall kick ass, as always.


Oh, shit. I forgot I'm gonna get loaded because my European decent means drinking at dinner part.

Oh, double shit. I forgot that the presence of my super white grandmother on the canadian side is going to be there to complain about my vulgarity and long hair. Which is funny, because she has no idea. I've never cussed in front of her anyway, its like the use of vaguely offensive words is like a stake in her heart. Also, my hair is like an inch off my shoulders: Jewfros, epic win.

[Timo]

Nothing happens down here, as usual.

[n00b1n8R]

american traditions are american.

[Sever]

Lol you n00bl3t Aussie. Coming from a n00bl3t Yankee, however, this obviously has no effect.

P.S.: EAT STUFF WITH FAMILY DAY IS NOW ONLY 6 DAYS AWAY!!!

[ExAm]

Going more or less down the hill from my house and having a gigantic turkey dinner.

[Bodzilla]

i have roast dinners with the familys nearly every weekened :o

Lamb, chicken, turkey, pork
it's all good :)

[Kornman00]

Halo. 3.

Never been sure wtf thanksgiving is in America, all I know is you eat a big roast dinner and meet family. Am I doing any thing? Might go get wasted.

[thehoodedsmack]

Canadian Thanksgiving was in October, so no.

We give thanks to our ancestors who stole, murdered and kicked out the Native Americans from the land that was rightfully theirs.

[Rosco]

So uh, thanks for destroying native land? :p

[n00b1n8R]

hmm.

wonder why australia doesn't have one of those. I guess were just a bunch of ungrateful pricks :embarrassed:

[p0lar_bear]

Thanks... giving?

What is this "Thanksgiving" you speak of? I was damn sure that Christmas was the next holiday, seeing as how every store I've been to, including the one I work at, has all of their Christmas signing up and deals a-ready to go. Not to mention all of the commericals on TV.

---

But seriously, we go eat some bird and potatoes, hang out for a few hours, and then draw names for our third annual family Secret Santa. That's all.

I'm just disgusted at how everything is being rushed. Only the supermarkets are truly recognizing Thanksgiving (for obvious reasons). Everyone else is in a rut over Christmas. Chillax people, Christmas is well over a month away.

[n00b1n8R]

the shops around here are running late on christmas this year. they only got their christmas decorations up last weekend :downs:

Naidoc week, reconciliation ect ect ect.

[n00b1n8R]

we actually do.

Naidoc week, reconciliation ect ect ect.

there hardly as mainstream (atleast around here) as Thanksgiving in the states.

[Bodzilla]

because theres no theme, theres nothing annual about it.

it's basically we get up, tel some speeches how where a bunch of dicks for stealing there land ra, ra, ra, stolen generation ra, ra, ra, where sorry.
even tho we never personally had anything to do with it.

it's all jsut a load of shit tbh.

[n00b1n8R]

tbqh.

I find alot of stuff like that to be total BS actually. like on the ABC, before some shows it may be like "aborigional and tores strate islander viewers are warned, that the following program may contain images or voices of desceased persons"

why not just warn everybody >__>

thats a little differnet. some Parts of there culture/religion/beliefs whatever you want to call it, conflicts with seeing pictures or video's of dead loved ones.

seeing video's of people that have died dont bother White people cause our cultures are differnet.

However what is a load of shit is that for EVERY and i mean every fucking gathering, assembly's, formals, Festivals ect Someone has to make a speech saying something like "We recognise and acknowledge the traditional owners of this land the (insert tribe name here) people."

whats the point??

[n00b1n8R]

I never said I had a problem with them not liking that, I said I don't like how they go "aborigional or tores strate islanders are warned" why not "viewers are warned". their trying to be pollitically correct and in doing so, shooting themselves in the foot. why can't a "white person" share the belief's of aborigional culture?
