Thanksgiving and Black Friday 2009
Oops – think I missed it.
To my American friends – don’t eat too much turkey. You know how I remembered? The cranberries in the chutney in my cupboard. It was a surprise that it’s only been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863. It did not become a federal holiday until 1941.
Still, I wonder if you celebrated with these – fowl, venison, fish, lobster, clams, berries, fruit, pumpkin, squash, turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie.
To all the turkeys – I think it’s safe to come out now.
I wonder how many Brits know of Black Friday? With America under the hammer, it will be interesting to see how it goes this year.
