OTD: I generally go to my grandparents for Thanksgiving, but I missed out on that the last couple of year. But I'll be there for 4 days this year. One tradition I look forward to is always having a campfire sometime after dinner. Good times.

Us Brits don't have Thanksgiving Day, nor do the Japanese. Looks like another big roast I miss out on. Looks yummy too.
I'm wrong here


Labor Thanksgiving Day (勤労感謝の日 Kinrō Kansha no Hi?) is a national holiday in Japan. It takes place annually on November 23. The law establishing the holiday, which was adopted during the American occupation after World War II, cites it as an occasion for commemorating labor and production and giving one another thanks. It has roots in an ancient harvest ceremony (Niiname-sai (新嘗祭?)) celebrating hard work

Well if that's so! It's the first time I have known about this. This could be a good time to bring it up and introduce to our family. Getting the family together is always a good thing. A few drinks, some board games. and best yet getting a nice roast in!!
