Proof We All Had The Same Mom

Sorry, we did not have the same mom. My mom hated turkey and our Thanksgiving dinner reflected that. She was best at the hollowed out oranges with the sweet potatoes stuffed inside. We are going out to eat for Thanksgiving.

Sensible woman your Mother, here on the side of the pond that spawned the migration to the New World, Thanksgiving isn't celebrated nor is it a holiday, although there are some who would enjoy it as a holiday and others who resent the success of those early settlers in putting down the foundations that the modern USA is built upon.

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and States. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

The reason that I empathise with your Mother is because, I too, can't abide the taste of turkey. It's the traditional Christmas Day meal here, but your's truly, never has any on his plate. Not that is a problem, being just the two of us, we always dine out on Christmas Day, allowing me to indulge in roast beef instead.
