I wont do either......it's a thai food event with some touchy feely bullshit where I have to quote a book about being thankful.  I think this will be my quote:

“I needed therapy to bury my anxiety, and alcohol was going to be my counselor.”  i.e. I'm thankful for booze.

I live in a country that celebrates Thanksgiving a month earlier, and I'm currently in a country that doesn't celebrate it at all.

Some Austrians/Brits asked me what Thanksgiving was all about, and all I could really say was "for being thankful". I realized that I don't really know the background of most of my holidays, I just see them as days when I don't have to go to work. :)

It's about duping them thar injuns outta land.  I is thankful we gave them disease and whiskey!  Go European settlers!

/I dont know what Canadian thanksgiving is about...probably the same thing.

//actually, it's probably just some BS holiday like Valentines

I think the first Thanksgiving feast was when settlers almost starved and then Natives taught them how to grow corn. Wikipedia'ing to see how wrong I am.

EDIT -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving#In_the_United_States - see Massachusetts
I was kind of right.

I looked it up earlier and Canadian's Thanksgiving is about giving Thanks to God for a bountiful harvest.

American Thanksgiving is the day you you're supposed to be thankful that black friday "sales" are only a day away.  I'm like 70% sure on this one.
