Only been here five -point- five, but it's already far outlasted my tenure at other venues.
For non-Americans: Thanksgiving is a big national holiday in the US; celebrated on the last Thursday of November.
Its origin story is that a bunch of recent immigrants were having a rough time of it, and were helped by aboriginal Americans.
What happened after ... well, that's another story.
It's a big "family" holiday. Americans travel all over, to gather with their families at the Gorging Table.
what happened after the pilgrims were helped by those nice people?
I won't get into it, but it's not difficult to figure out.
