I have wondered this for decades. And unlike Canadians, they're VERY attached to having the big gathering *on the day*. It has always struck me as extremely impractical.

A friend moved here from the US & was astonished that we're happy to have Thanksgiving dinner on Mon, Sun, or even Sat, no big.

OK but did they also change the mode from minor to major like the organ players at hockey games sometimes do 😬😬😬

W h a t

Or in the words of my grandma z’’l, « Getting old is terrible. But consider the alternative! »

I don’t typically do Yanksgiving, but “project manage this fucker” is my approach to Rosh Hashanah dinners, Passover seders, etc. And also to when I am visiting my parents and my mom decides to “have a couple of people over” (i.e., to host a large NYE party or similar).

Can we please please stop with the TV adverts that ask "What do you want Santa to bring you for The Holidays™️?"

IF SANTA IS BRINGING IT, IT IS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

My expert opinion, after working at homeless shelters and then being homeless, is

Give homeless/unhoused people money

Give money. They’re adults, they know what they need
