I cooked a curry, went for a walk, visited two separate sets of fireworks displays and am now settling in for the night.

You can still get fireworks though, is that right Anna?

You've got that Thanksgiving thing coming up in about 3 weeks, do you use them for that?

Dessert!?
I've done a US Thanksgiving once and the whole meal was pretty much sweet, meat and potatoes. I'm much more into savoury, meat and potatoes with coffee and a cheeseboard to finish off on.
I mean who ruins perfectly good macaroni and cheese as a side dish by adding marshmallows to it?

Oh, I can't remember - all I know is that the whole thing was sweet, even the cranberries and they are bitter little things normally.
The company was great and I enjoyed myself but I'm in no rush to eat a traditional Thanksgiving meal again anytime soon

We don’t celebrate anymore. Food is boring and gross. 🤮

Pretty quiet in my neck of the woods, but elsewhere in the country it was as bad as it always is at this time of year. A house burned down, for instance. I feel bad for the animals having to endure this human revelry.

A house burned down?
Is everyone who lived there OK?
As for the animals NZer, not much can be done with fireworks or lightning storms - but we can minimise what we can with them

I have nothing against those amazing public firework displays. It's the backyard loonies that worry me!

All the US celebrated was gaining an extra hour
of sleep. That is better than any other holiday.

It's just a good excuse to break up the cold dark nights a little bit.
It's mostly for the kids, but where I am - not exclusively for them
