It’s Thanksgiving, for you non-Americans who may not have realised. So time for the four Fs — food, family, friends and football. And that means I have spent the day preparing, shopping and cleaning. Oddly enough though, not cooking. Jen has taken on head chef responsibilities so I’m the sous bitch and merely have to help chop, stir, do washing up and whatever else she tells me to do. Yes, drill sergeant!
Many Brits don’t get what Thanksgiving is about (not that they have a reason to) and some think it’s like the American version of Christmas with gifts given or some kind of religious affiliation. But that’s the beauty of Turkey Day. It’s purely about being together with people you care about, eating lovely food and being thankful for all that you’ve got. And right now, I’m feeling pretty damn blessed.

Happy Thanksgiving! Dig into that turkey for me, would you?
hope you had a good one!!! I was working all day so i picked up a Big Night In bucket from KFC, so we had food, i was with my hubby so i had family, he’s my best friend so tick friends and we streamed football, so we put the tree up whilst watching GBP!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Amity! I think it sounds like a wonderful holiday.
Go on then, tell me, where does thanksgiving come from, I know it’s about being with your folks but presumably it started somewhere, somehow right?
Cheers
