lol. Sapotati, i guess i should have said something. I'm a yankee - just been here for a while. All my family, barring my kids, are back in the states. My kids adore Thanksgiving, never having had any stateside, so I do it every year. my guests vary. I usually have close aussie friends come over who appreciate the sentiment behind the holiday, and every now and then an American finds me and they come along as well. Last year a friend was diagnosed with coeliac and we just changed some of the recipes so she could enjoy it as much as we did. We had a "thankful" tree where we wrote what we were thankful for on a paper leaf, put on a eucalypt branch. that was our centrepiece, and as the fans lazily blew, the leaves would twirl for us. yes Angel, they do have all the snow and snowmen, aalso santa and his reindeers on surfboards sporting sunglasses and tans... a lot of australians are english transplants several generations down.
