Neil GaimanIt was a non-traditional Thanksgiving, far from America, with mostly not-American friends and family. And it was a joy, eating together, being with each other and being grateful. Even if I did have to explain to my mother several times that Thanksgiving had nothing to do with the War of Independence so even English people were allowed to eat a lot and be grateful for each other and their lives.
Mark Tull@neilhimself Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. As a Brit living in Illinois with my American family, I get to fully enjoy giving thanks and not worry about treason day as I jokingly call the 4th to them.
dearydarlingMarried to a Brit and we lived in the town that boasts The Turning Point of the RW. Every year a parade. I suggested to the mayor that we could spice up the parade by putting my hubs at the head of it and running him out of town hehe 😉
@dearydarling @neilhimself this would be a great thing to do and I bet the local community would enjoy it too!
When i told hubby neilhimself favorited the idea of him being run out of town by a parade of american townfolk he said
"I expect this sort of thing out of you, but Neil Gaiman?" and then did his very English brand of head shaking at the both of us 😉
