It's okay for us to be smug about it. :) Much better planning on our part, I can't imagine trying to get thanksgiving dinner ready when there's so much christmas stuff to do!

It's not lack of planning. It's punishment. The Pilgrims didn't celebrate
Christmas so it's part of our penance to have to have them so close together
in order to celebrate Christmas. ;-)

It's a harvest festival. They live practically in the arctic, so their
harvest is earlier.

'Practically live in the arctic?' Bah, just sour grapes over our much more sensible thanksgiving. Sigh, all this jealousy just doesn't become you folks. ;P

We usually have Thanksgiving warm enough to go out and play, and this year it
was way freezing. Dry, nothing artsy like snow or even rain, but COLD cold.
I'm thrilled that we have a fireplace. Giddy.

It will probably warm up again. But for a stuffingish thing I made I was
able to use onion greens from the back yard. I brushed fallen leaves off them
and snipped lots of greens. That's the extent of my personal harvest. <g>

Real harvest festivals have to do with real harvests. Real federal holidays
have to do with... whatever. Symbolic myth-building culture-shaping something
or other. And four-day weekends.

I used some fresh sprigs of rosemary and thyme from my garden around my
turkey--gave a very nice flavor.

It's 9am here and I'm thinking I might go and put the air-conditioner on. My
kids have been complaining that it's too hot to go outside and play! We are
still feeling festive though. the tree is going up today and the kids woke
up an hour or two earlier than usual bursting with excitement. Halfway
through my morning cup of tea I'm beginning to wake up and share their
enthusiasm. <g>

Julie, who is sick of flies already!!!!!! and sweating out here in Australia

Not only is the harvest earlier, but we have only 3-4 months to grow stuff.
Must get back to my igloo and feed the sled dogs!!BWG>
