Amazing! Who'da thought that a holiday, started by puritan pilgrims in America's surviving through a harsh winter, wouldn't be celebrated world wide?

Seriously? How f*cked up is our education system if you didn't know that?!

Oh, Happy Thanksgiving, BTW. And please stop calling it Turkey Day. That's kinda annoying.

no thanksgiving in Australia... no turkey for poor little me...

Boxing Day (for reference) is the 26th December; it's basically another holiday day, although a few shops do open then. Basically, you spend the whole day hoovering up the leftovers from Xmas Day, get drunk and fall asleep on the couch (plus, no need to visit relatives!).

The name comes from Victorian times IIRC; it was on the 26th that the churches would open and distribute the contents of their poorboxes.
