October 15, 2011: All my life I've wakened every morning excited about what I'll experience & learn that day. I usually start the day by looking up a new-to-me fact, but definitely when I need a mental break from paperwork or practicing I briefly go looking for something new to learn. My blog is about anything I learn on any subject. I hope you will enjoy exploring this path with me.

Thanksgiving in the United Kingdom

There is a Thanksgiving Day of sorts in the United Kingdom known as Harvest Day. It is primarily a rural celebration held on a Sunday in September near the harvest moon. It is not a national holiday. Churches are decorated with autumn foliage, fruits, and vegetables, and communities gather together for a dinner. Turkey is not an obligatory part of the meal as it is in Canada and the United States.
For more information see the Thanksgiving-Day.org and Thanksgiving-Day.biz websites.
