Really? Well, that's just wrong.

It would be rather foolish of us to celebrate a custom that was started in America in the 19th century (officially) and has nothing to do with England.

Well, my father married an English woman (my mother ) so I guess I'm a half breed :hihi:

 

But I'm LA born & bred.

Hmmm... But you celebrate tonnes of other International holidays... Like... Help me out here... St. Patrick's Day!

Noone's ever asked me for a recipe before!

 

Okay... So, it's basically potatoes smothered in sugar and vanilla ... stick it in the oven 'til it goes brown and volia!!!! ...

 

Except it so does not turn out the way Grandma makes them

Oh, thats the reason then.If youre LA born & bred,youre a little homesick.!I have relatives in America and they all hate Thanksgiving Day as its too near Christmas.They cook a turkey for Thanksgiving ,then have to cook one again for Christmas.
