Given the enthusiasm that Australians embraced Halloween a few days ago, I started wondering whether we will soon also be celebrating Thanksgiving (25 November) and Independence Day (4 July).
Thanksgiving is the day in America when they give thanks to God, family and friends for relationships and possessions. Historically it developed from the days of the Pilgrims giving thanks for bountiful harvests.
Thinking about it caused me to remember a cartoon I had seen in my uni days, a great comment on Thanksgiving by Ron Cobb.
