Seriously Rosemarie? I see that under your avatar it says you're from England. I hope you're not being as arrogant as it appears. Are you really "so often" accusing Americans of being too stupid and shallow to know or care what the meaning of Thanksgiving is since all we think is it's "just an excuse to stuff ourselves" and aren't grateful for God's blessings nor mindful enough to give a wit about our American history? That's rhetorical btw. I know the answer but just want you to think about it.So, as is so often the case, [Thanksgiving] is just an excuse to stuff yourself? I wonder how many Americans can remember the origins of the tradition?
It's just a shame that your quote above was your response to one of our sweet members who posted what traditional dishes we Americans enjoy sharing with friends, family, and the needy...She said, "You would love it, roasted turkey, corn bread stuffing with sausage, mashed potatoes, lots of gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes...Try it you’ll love it!"
And you tried to make that into something ugly? I can't wait to hear your take on American's excuse for celebrating Christmas and then asking if we even know the meaning.
Sorry I have addressed this so boldly but your cynicism stepped on my Season's Joy
