Personally, I couldn't give a rat's ass for Thanksgiving. It's nice in that I get a few days off from work, but that's about it. Thanksgiving, to me, is the 2nd most overrated of the major holidays (Easter being the 1st.)

So, you all do the whole trick-or-treating business and all? That's good hear.
What the fuck is Guy Fawkes night? Being an American, I view everything that is not of American culture to be shit. (Just kidding ... just trying to come up with some explanation as to why I don't know what Guy Fawkes night is).

The Gun Powder Plot - the guy who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament, during a debate.
He stashed barrels of gunpowder in the cellars, but got caught.

Yeah, I read it. Pretty interesting stuff. But, I'm not so sure I disagreed with the guy. Hell, the government wouldn't tolerate his religion! Burn down the House of Parliament!!!!

So, poor bastards who are afflicted with looking like Fawkes should hide out on that night, then?

Hey, i like thanksgiving. i am an absentee when it comes to my family, so i dont even have to deal with them. its an excuse for me to cook up a turkey and a shitload of other food, sit around, drink beer, and watch movies.
Thanksgiving refers to the "givings" from god, so thakstaking isnt that on the money. However, it is fucking funny. :)
Oops, im also not christian, but whatever, its an excuse to eat turkey, so its good :)
easter is fine. I like holidays, they are an excuse to act like a big kid.

Halloween is stupid??? Are you telling me that you can't see a sexy girl in a bunny suit on Halloween? You get a better chance of that on Halloween than you do on Easter, that's for sure. The only bunnies you see on Easter are the oversized stuffed animal-looking dupes who got conned into wearing that stupid costume for baby pictures at the mall (I was one of them, back in the day).
Fuck Easter. You can't DO anything on Easter! You give a basket of candy to a kid, and make 'em run around looking for eggs and shit in the yard. It's like ... Halloween lite or something. They don't get nearly as much candy, and the Easter-egg hunt is limited to just one yard (as opposed to every house in the neighborhood). Plus, what's up with the gay Easter colors? Pink, blue, and yellow? Makes me want to barf.
Thanksgiving totally blows. I'll agree that I enjoy eating the turkey ... but I'm not a Christian, so I couldn't really give a shit about thanking god for anything. It's more like: "Thanks to my school district for giving me a job so I could afford to buy this overpriced turkey on this day." I pig out, take a nap, then feel like shit for the rest of the week. Turkey's are ugly fucking birds, so I don't want to decorate anything with pictures of them ... and I sure as hell don't want to decorate with pictures of crazy-ass pilgrims. If those bastards were still around today, I would hate them very much with their "holier-than-thou" attitudes. The only thing I would hang up to decorate for thanksgiving is a picture of a corna-fucking-copia. But those things are dumb as hell, too. Who uses a cornacopia nowadays? Nobody. We have tupperware.
No, Easter and Thanksgiving are the two most overrated of the major holidays. St. Patrick's Day coming in third. And I'm Irish! St. Patrick's Day totally sucks. All that happens on that day is you get the shit pinched out of you if you don't wear green and you get to drink green beer (yay. I hate beer). So fuck that holiday, too. I'll eat a bowl of Lucky Charms and be done with it.

Actually, I'm on vacation.

I just started ranting about this person who says Halloween is stupid, then says that Easter is great. What the hell? Then, I thought it would be funny if I just turned it into a mega-rant. Not really that pissed off.

Oh god! i forgot about the pilgrims. i too am an athiest. look at it this way, thanksgiving reminds us that this country was started by puritans. As ggreg Proops put it, "People who were so uptight and religious, ENGLAND kicked them out."
No offense to our british freinds here, but you have to agree, england did have a reputation for stuffines back in the day.
They started the country, so they are directly responsible for the bible belt and everything evil in this nation. there. i said it.
I still like turkey. And stuffing. And buiscuits. and Shrimp toast. (our own little tradition)

yeah I know, just having a joke with ya dude. ;)
over here Easter is taken much more seriously than halloween, the amount of eggs and chocolate crap thats available down my local big supermarket is unbelievable, isles of the stuff.
its a very religious occasion aswell, there's live broadcast chruch services and stuff on the tv.
