i know people in Britain aren't celebrating this but here in America thanksgiving is on thursday
 
Is thanksgiving the same date every year?
 
I think it is the 24th November or the nearest Thursday to it!

One thing I've always wondered: I usually enjoy turkey as a once-a-year treat but I cannot get any of my American friends, of whom I have several, to explain how they can cope with eating their way through two turkeys in the course of a month
 
Here in central London we have an American store called Wholefoods so wide advertising of food produce - pecan pies, pumpkin pies to name my yummy favourites!
 
That's Independence Day, not the same as Thanksgiving Day.
No, no; you don't understand.

We Brits celebrate on 4th July to give thanks for the day on which we got rid of a troublesome bunch of colonials

Actually we do celebrate something similar in the UK.. "Harvest festival". It normally involves a church service praising God for tins of spaghetti...
 
Ah, right.

I have to say, it does look nice!
 
As for the double Turkey.

Turkey is not usually the choice for Xmas in the USA. I've never eaten it at Xmas in America and I've celebrated over there at least 8 times.
 
When i eat meat it is usually turkey but then I dont ever eat it on Christmas day.
Son and DIL have goose or duck, they usually invite all their friends round who aren't going"home".
It's just me and Mr shar67 (Mr's godfather used to come if I wasnt working until he died)
I do like Christmas day, though diabetes has put a bit of food out of the question. I make croissants with champagnge and hot chocolate for breakfast (i have non of these)
Lunch and dinner mingle into each other, we have a starter for lunch, then the mains for dinner.
