Hey, we got Thanksgiving in most of Europe. In Germany it's called Erntedankfest (Harvest Festival of Gratitude). All the nubile, sparely clad village girls dance around the Maypole in the town square while the men drink beer and watch. The older wimmen folks have to stay at home.
That's just how it is.
Happy T-Day everyone! I got a wild turkey this year.

Wonder what the Maypole symbolizes...?

What would Freud say? I can only tell you a Bavarian Maypole must be at least 30 meters tall. It is erected by hand (O fer cryin' out loud!) collectively by the village men. Boys and men from the neighboring villages may try to steal the Maypole. If they manage, there will be ransom in the form of beer and food paid. It's all very rural. And no, it has nothing to to with Thanksgiving.
Is that a maypole in the town square or are you just happy to see me?
Shannow, here's the short version:
1) Hungry city people show up on a boat with little to no outdoor skills.
2) Natives ask if they are going to spend the night.
3) City people say it's a long way home and don't mind if they do.
4) Natives have a huddle and some say it's OK and others say the visitors won't mess the bathroom up because by the smell of them they rarely bathe.
5) In the mean time the visitors unpack their junk.
6) Dang forgot the food. OOPS!
7) Natives say fend for yourself but don't take the chow we bury with our dead loved ones.
8) After some bad berries and measly fixins, those graves started to look pretty good.
9) Natives got sick and tired of that and told the newcomers they could raise some chow in certain areas.
10) Natives noticed that newcomers did have some usefulness in animal rearing and crop grubbing. Their metals and horses were OK too.
11) So they had a potluck.
12) Newcomers didn't bring enough beer, so we've been fighting about that for 400 years.

Actually the local natives thought that it was a comedy act. They enjoyed watching the funny looking people do stuff and wanted to express their appreciation. They didn't have any currency and the funny people didn't seem to understand applause...so they brought food instead.
Thanks for the entertainment!!
Yes, Pablo ..sweat pants all the way today.
Everyone enjoy the bird and the company. May all your dysfunctions take the day off too.
