Tell HN: Happy Thanksgiving

Continuing a multi-year tradition of announcing American holidays on HN, Happy Thanksgiving, all! I hope your holidays are full of good hacking, good eating, and lots of family time.

I think I'll start announcing all the other countries national holidays, just for perspective and balance, as well as being politically correct.

I think that's a great idea.

We can upvote the ones we like. That way the voting system still works ;)

What about Robonica?

Festivus for the rest of us

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/ has a lot of calendars, including

Armenian Official Holidays Calendar 1.0, Romanian Orthodox Saint’s Days Calendar 1.0, Finnish holidays iCalendar (in Finnish) 1.0, Maldives Holidays Calendar 1.0...

You Americans are always so far behind the times -- Thanksgiving was 45 days ago!

It's because of the time zones.

no, you got it wrong, you guys were just early.

Hey, I didn't get the joke :(

I'm Canadian. We celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October.

I celebrated Thanksgiving in Canada and now I'm celebrating it in the U.S. Twice as thankful as most.

We also talk too slow.

When I lived in the US this was my favo(u)rite holiday and even though I'm in the US we are having a little Thanksgiving this weekend with American friends.

Oh man. I'm just looking forward to the food. Best meal of the year!

Have some turkey and cranberry sauce for me! They're a bit hard to get a hold of over here. (My favorite Japanese Thanksgiving quote ever: "Turkey? No turkey. Want horse sashimi instead? Great with soy sauce! Cranberry sauce? Eww, you Americans eat the weirdest things.")

I can definitely say I'm thankful for HN. Thanks, guys!

Happy birthday, ME!

Happy Birthday, Wouter!

me too :)

Gobble gobble gobble!

Happy Thanksgiving to all here at HN.

You're missing sleeping in that list!
