Happy Thanksgiving Accyweb!!
 

Okay, I guess you guys don't celebrate Thanksgiving like we do here in the States. It's a time of giving thanks for various blessings. Besides Faith, family and friends, wanted you guys to know you would be thanked for as we gather around the table tomorrow.

Hey American dwelling Accywebbers, how will you be celebrating your Thanksgiving? Here's what we do when not travelling to distance parts: We start the day by dressing upo in colonial garb. Cindy and Annie dress the turkey (though NOT in colonial garb), bake pies, and all the other fixins. Joshua and I will gather wood, tend the fire, bring some butternut squash to the neighbors. Then we play a game of 2 hand touch football (American), watch football (Am.), eat, watch more football, eat, watch some movies, oh yeah, and eat.

Accywebbers, feel free to join in with this tradition. It's a nice one!

CHEERS!:jump3:

Love from Culpeper, Virginia :Banane59:

Happy Thanksgiving.:D

Now Ian you see we can agree on something, that American 'football is terrible, 'time out'. regards Ian.T.W.

Cute pic lil bruv! Called Joshua over to see what Uncle Rindy sent over!:D
Just to clarify, we don't "do" the cutzy pilgrim male outfit. Rather we dress more frontiersman/mountain man outfits. Much more versatile for a sundry of activities.

Gotta agree with you entwisi, can't watch much "football" at a time. Lot of switching between that and basketball (college) and movies etc.

Thanks Grannyc! Hey can I ask you a quick one? On the Burnley site, there are some very specific "Claret" threads. What is that all about? Is abouit a family, a football team, a location?

It is about Accy's neighbours from hell, which unfortunatly we have to live with every day.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Accyweb!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all those over the pond. Have a good one guys. :)

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Accyweb!!
 

If turkey is the national dish at Thanksgiving, what is eaten at Christmas?

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Accyweb!!
 

Dinner's cooking. Sipping a glass of Sangria. Re-read portions of William Bradford's journal this a.m. He was one of 102 passengers aboard the Mayflower when it sailed for the New World on August 1st, 1620. He later became governor of the Plymouth Colony. It was no pleasure cruise. When they landed on the shores of the future home of the Kennedy Clan, they found a 'cold, barren, desolate wilderness." During the first winter, half the Pilgrims, (including Bradford's wife), died of starvation, sickness or exposure. Their early experiments with collectivism failed. That's right....long before Karl Marx, they figured out it was a dud. And so they ventured into free market capitalism. "This had very good success," wrote Bradford.

It is a great priviledge to be an American and I am ever thankful to have been allowed the opportunity. I am thankful for my family, friends and many mentors over the years. A special thanks to our troops, no matter where they are serving today. Happy Thanksgiving!

happy thanksgiving LYY an family, joined in a thanksgiving last year on a carib cruise was a brilliant evening. P.S. clarets are unaffectionatly known as DINGLES to many please educate our american friends to this fact.:D

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Accyweb!!

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Accyweb!!
 

Happy thanksgiving to you all LYY

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Accyweb!!
 

Not offense taken me Yorky cousin! To clarify, I believe Baseball is America's "national game!" Although quite fun to play, I find it more exciting to watch grass grow then watch a whole game!:rolleyes:

Sparkologist - On Christmas turkey is served by many. However I believe ham and roast beef are also quite popular. We always have a nice leg of Aussie lamb! Dag, after all that food and me mouth is already watering for Christmas!!

Thanks for the well wishes all! The day was very pleasant 95% of time. Much, much laughter and jocularity. For those wishing to read just a bit of "the dark side" please enjoy the following:

1. Following the opening prayer; Annie to Joshua as he lifts to drink from glass: "you can't drink that till we have the toast, stupid!" 2. A little later: Cindy: "oh this bowl is sticky and gross" Annie: "hmm, sounds like Joshua!" 3. During football game Joshua tackles Annie instead of 2 hand touches her causing injury, 4. Also during football game Joshua 2 hand touched Annie's "breast."

Peace, Hope, Love, and Laughter eh?

Well my better have is actually over the pond for thanks giving, She's in a little town called Dallas, I've asked her to give my regards to George W if she see's him, especially if he's with Tony. The only good point for me with her being away for a few weeks is it will be wall to wall footy every weekend, she aint much of a footy fan or for that matter she hates any sport.:engsmil: :engsmil: :engsmil: :engsmil:

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Accyweb!!
 

So its just a like a sunday roast with crap sports

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Accyweb!!
 

Now, now - don't be so cheeky.

On a slight digresion, a few days ago a wooden boat moored up at one of the old docks close to me . This boat is a full-scale replica of the Discovery, which was one of three ships involved in the Jamestown settlements of 1609, which preceeded the Pilgrim Fathers and Thanks Giving day by about 12 years. Unfortunatly, those earlier settlers did not survive - I think most of 'em were eaten by injuns. So I just wonder - do the Mohawks and the Apache have a different item on the menu on thanksgiving day?

WOW! Wish i was there now

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Accyweb!!
 

While Jamestown had a horrendous death rate (as did the pilgrims), it was the first English settlement that survived in what is now the USA. It was the settlement that evenyually became Virginia.

and I bet they didn't have to press #1 for english :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Accyweb!!
 

just as a brief digression , a few years ago the Disney corp released a cartoon/animated movie called Pocahontas, part of the movie promotion included sending out a free movie pass for 2 persons to every J*** Smith listed in every phone book in the US , I have no idea how many used the free passes but it sure made one aware of how mass marketing techniques are manipulating the marketplace
