I dont see much meaning in it except 'stuff your face until you feel sick'
Didn't know they don't have it in Aus though!
I'd understand if I were a farmer celebrating the harvest or something... otherwise I really don't get it! I don't like teaching children to bond with family through eating overly large quantities of food =/

It means I get 205 acres all to myself for a week.

My family has never celebrated Thankgiving. My father-in-law is American and loves it so we used to celebrate it with him. I miss my father-in-law because I actually had something to look forward to on Thanksgiving.
I'm not very close to my immediate family and knowing that other people are very close knit just makes me feel left out. That's what Thanksgiving means to me.

I get together with family, eat turkey, pumpkin pie. I'm honestly not that big on Thanksgiving, I just don't love that much Thanksgiving food. My most favorite thing about it is, of course, the pumpkin pie and whipped-cream, though.
Oh, and before we get together we have it on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
But I'd much rather be alone, sitting in my bedroom, listening to music and dreaming.
There's no way outta it unless I wanna feel super guilty.

At least there was no arguing.
Starting your own traditions with your kids and some friends sounds a heck of a lot less stressful than spending time with family you didn't choose where you're dodging issues and drama left and right.

theres always excessive drinking :
That may be true but no one does it like my family. This last thanksgiving 3 wine glasses broke and there was much spillage!

I agree. I've always thought that Thanksgiving sounded like the perfect holiday. It seems to have avoided the overhyping that Christmas now suffers from, leaving just a simple single day to be spend with those you are closest to.

Say I am thankful for food for example and be nice.

To my family, it's a day to scarf down as much food as possible for people that aren't on a diet. My mom always misses out on a lot of food unless she cheats on her diet.
Other than the massive meal, I may check out the parades on TV, otherwise it's just another normal day where I got to play video games when my nana and grandpa go home.
It's really the only day other than birthdays when we all eat together at the table.
