    :o

    also i got a diary this year which marks notable festivals, and Thanksgiving wasn't on there

    there's no particular reason it should have been, since i bought it in Wales, but i'd have expected it to be there, and it wasn't

    that's... rather worse, seeing as you actually live somewhere that celebrates it :/

    Well, okay, it's kinda like this...people seem to actually be focusing on Thanksgiving, but everything I see on the news or in advertising is instead pushing the whole Black Friday thing.

    Thanksgiving is when the white settlers had a nice little dinner with the Native Americans before slaughtering them and taking their land

    And that's why James Cameron is no longer allowed to write and direct his his local elementary school's plays anymore.

    Which kinda begs the question of why anyone let him do it in the first place, he doesn't even have kids...

    He actually does! "He married Amis in 2000, and they have one son and two daughters." (Also had a kid with his... fourth? wife.)

    (Yes I know you were joking but accuracy is important in these things dagnamit!)

    Actully, I looked up his Wikipedia page and saw no mention of kids, so I tacked on that last sentence, otherwise I would have included the mention of kids and wrote it differently. :P 

    I'm amazingly obsessive when it comes to accuracy, be it my fan-fic writing or even these one off jokes.

    To be fair, It's not like Holidays nowadays are about anything our sociopathic ancestors did.

    Sure, the story of the holiday is dark and messed up when you read about it. But it's not like that kind of thing came forward to anyone celebrating today.

    Thanksgiving seems to have been subsumed into Christmastime, at least here in the States.

    It's kind of bizarre to me how quickly Black Friday became a de facto holiday in this country; it was less than a decade ago that I'd even first heard the term (I believe I first heard it in 2006)...

    The news media have long described the day after Thanksgiving as the busiest shopping day of the year.[4]
    In earlier years, this was not actually the case. In the period from
    1993 through 2001, for example, Black Friday ranked from fifth to tenth
    on the list of busiest shopping days, with the last Saturday before
    Christmas usually taking first place.[3]
    In 2003, however, Black Friday actually was the busiest shopping day of
    the year, and it has retained that position every year since, with the
    exception of 2004, when it ranked second (after Saturday, December 18).[2]

    You know, every year there's some cable channel airing Home Alone on Thanksgiving

    And every year my dad and uncle sit around and watch it as if we haven't all seen it a million times

    Traditions are weird

    I remember being surprised at how successful it was

    I make a point to watch it every year because I am a big dork who likes holiday rituals for the sake of rituals >_>

    Funny, I chose Bob Evans knowing full well that most people wouldn't get the reference

    You probably did, though, since you used to live in Ohio

    I actually went to the Bob Evans Farm out along US 35 once when I was a kid. Also, there's several of the restaurants within easy driving distance of my house.

    I've been to Bob Evans a few times. My parents like it.

    I think it's ok

    this has been an update

    However, I know Bob Evans.
