You Americans and other persons of various nationality are lazy.
We English have virtually nil public holidays. We have three bank holidays (which more and more commonly you work anyhow), Christmas, Boxing day (that is, the day after Christmas), New Years, and a 4-day weekend at Easter.
No arbitrary giving of thanks, not anything. Since the Romans at least, we were never really dependent so no Independance Day either.

Wow, you guys don`t have some form of a "Rememberance Day"? I would think the UK is the country that needs it the most... Originally Posted by Identity X

yeah, thanksgiving in the US is so huge...its, like bigger than christmas. In canada we have it in October, and it isnt to celebrate that whole pilgrim indian story. for us, it really isnt as big. we get the day off, eat thanksgiving dinner with our families, then go to school and work on the following thursday. its more like a meal to look forward to than a holiday.
wow, whats your deal? you know America has a lot of really pointless holidays, like, what the hell is with arbor day? celebrate trees? give me a break, stop acting like youre so much better. Originally Posted by jacobo

hmm I don't know about that. Christmas is pretty huge. Thanksgiving is like the kickoff to the entire holiday season which is preparing for and buying gifts for Christmas, and the holidays wind down through the New Year. Then its back to work for the year to come! (to pay off the Christmas debt) Originally Posted by WinryRockbell
