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.
Daniel J. Loeb@neilhimself Funny that it never occurred to me before, but it's a holiday created by dyed-in-the-wool Englishmen! Rebellion was like 150 years away. English people have as legitimate a claim to the holiday as anyone.
