Is there a holiday similar in Poland?

Isn't always holiday in Poland? lol

Thanks... No pun intended.

Nope. We've got plenty, this one's all yours :D

I should probably point out that some people don't have family to celebrate Thanksgiving with.

In particular, some people might not have surviving family, or some people might have abusive family.

Also, even people with functional (non-abusive) families might find Thanksgiving to be stressful because of the large number of people around or because of all the work that goes into cooking.

I am more concerned about diabetic kids on Halloween who can't eat candy. So they go door to door and since they can't ask for candy, they can only say "Trick or trick?". And then the family will trick the poor kids in some way like throwing ice cold water on them.

Trying... to... care... nope... couldn't give a shit!

So? What you are saying is that some people's lives are worse than others. Some are orphans and others get stressed when they have to work. I'm pretty sure we all know that. What was the point you tried to make? It just seems like you randomly shared a piece of well known info with no meaning to it.

Mercury is closer to the Sun than Earth is.

Thanksgiving is a day where Americans get together and eat more than usual to celebrate making peace with the Native Americans before we stole the land, kicked them off it, murdered their people, hunted their children, infected them with deadly disease, and then parceled out small parts of the worst bits of land for the people who had it before we did to begin with. Happy fucking deception before the murder day, Fellow Americans.

*Looks at posts in this thread*

Well since we're going that direction...

I'm thankful Nintendo decided to go the same route as the NES Mini (which I somehow managed to get) and let retailers have a shockingly low number of the $99 N3DS systems. Going to a bunch of stores (since their websites decided to be incredibly vague and their phone systems down) only to see that they had 5 or 10 that sold out within minutes. This is certainly a sign of things to come when the Switch is released. Thanks, Nintendo. Truly.

Getting that out of the way, Happy Thanksgiving. Had a nice time with the family today.

You are like so edgy and stuff.

No, you're right. We should celebrate the attempted genocide of a people because someone believed it was worth it. When's Hitler day?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thanks for the encouragement. :)

Spike: I just can't take all this mamby-pamby boo-hooing about the bloody Indians.

Willow: Uh, the preferred term is...

Spike: You won. All right? You came in and you killed them and you took their land. That's what conquering nations do. It's what Caesar did, and he's not goin' around saying, "I came, I conquered, I felt really bad about it." The history of the world is not people making friends. You had better weapons, and you massacred them. End of story. I should probably point out that by law, a pregnant woman can pee anywhere she wants to in Britain, even in a police officer’s helmet.

Not sure if you know this, but we won. Victory day is May 8th. Some still celebrate it.

And while your family must have been celebrating genocide, etc., which would explain your aversion, the rest of us simply celebrate all the things we feel thankful for. You could give it a shot. I mean, if you wanted to, of course. Though when you first discover that the history of the holiday is not what you were taught in kindergarten, I guess it's normal to want to share your newly acquired knowledge with the world. I guess we all did that as teenagers. Though then we realized that everyone knows, and moved on.
