    Because it is an American based holiday?

    Shall we start celebrating Independence Day too?



    Ps. On a different note, what are your thoughts on Edelman being out for a few weeks? Should be back for the playoffs, but losing him is still not great.

    Its originally a british tradition and it would give us an extra day off.
    Yeah thats not good news i think they might struggle a bit especially with Lewis also out.
    Mind you they seem to find a way to cope with injuries.
    Theres been some great games this year dont you think

    I haven't seen every game, but there has been some crackers.

    I probably should add that I'm not a Patriots fan.

    I went to Detroit vs Atlanta last year, but didn't go this time round. I will probably go to the 2016 series though for sure.

    Thanksgiving is just a continuation of the Harvest Festival that we've celebrated here for hundreds of years.

    I was referring to the Americanised ideals of it, which have now come to symbolise the holiday, than anything else.

    I do. Getting rid of the Thirteen Colonies is a worthy celebration.
