    Hehe, how I hated Saturday morings!

    Hello All, I'm new to the forum!

    First of all, I would like to apologise to anyone who had the misfortune of opening their door early on a Saturday morning to me preaching the good news! I was young, I didn't really understand!

    Secondly, WHAT A LOT OF RUBBISH!

    You might be forgiven for thinking I've only just left, but I actually chucked it 10 years ago, this is just the first time I've been on this site. You can read a bit more about me in my bio.

    Just wanted to say hello.

    Oh ... and excuse the ignorance, but what is thanksgiving all about?

    Welcome to the forum matey! Eh the worst was when you ran into one of your chums from school in service.

    Thanksgiving is about just that. Giving thanks for a good year, good food, good friends, and the freedom to do so without the guilt of some crazy religion hanging over your head. Cheers and welcome to the forum once again.

    Sincerely,

    District Overbeer

    Thanksgiving is an American holiday, a mix of myth and vague history that began in the 1890's. (The current date for the holiday has only been observed since 1939)

    In the Autumn of 1621, a gathering took place betwwen the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag, an Algonkian speaking branch of Native Americans. The modern celebration of Thanksgiving is (very) loosely based upon this community feast.
