Tired of all this pumpkin and plastic skeleton crap everywhere. Thanks, marketing ghouls rage-cry

What, are we going to start celebrating the 4th of July next? Might as well with the NATO membership I guess

We're going to make all of you celebrate 4th of July and Thanksgiving. UK gets Canadian Thanksgiving, EU gets American

Only if Americans start celebrating Midsummer and Walpurgis/May Day

Thanksgiving is easily the worst holiday

It's just Kwaanzaa for white people but without any actual reasoning behind it. Basically "uhh we need another holiday because....reasons"

The fact that there's a Canadian version of Thanksgiving is just blowing my sides into orbit HOLY FUCK point-and-laugh-2

It's nice to have an extra excuse to eat with extended family at the end of the year.

The themed decorations you see in stores with psycho puritans and the people they genocided depicted in a cutesy manner suck shit though.

Last year I told my Bosnian friend I was celebrating Thanskgiving and he was like "that's so crazy to say to a Bosnian considering the Serbs here also have a feast celebrating genocide"
