You make it sound like Canadians have no knowledge of American Thanksgiving >_> ... XD

Speaking of Kwanza, I don't think Canadians believe in that yet. Although I could be wrong. XD;;;

For the record Thanksgiving so close to Christmas is silly. There I said it, 2 giant turkey based meals within about a one month period? Chaos and poppycock I say. This would have never happened if you had just been patient about your independence like us.

IT'S THE FROZEN NORTH. A LAND OF MYYYYYYYSTERY!!!! XD . MYSTERY AND GODLESS HEATHENS! Maybe. XD .
Yeah, I noticed I overdid it after I posted. Ahahaha, oh well. I just didn't want you all to feel left out!

About Kwanza, yeaaaaaah it's a pretty fake holiday that was just invented less than 50 years ago I think. I don't think most American's really celebrate it >_> .

And yeah, in my family we skip the turkey at Thanksgiving thing XD . So I agree with ya. In my family we eat well on Thanksgiving, just... other stuff XD .

'Cause yeah, our big Turkey meal is at Christmas. I here some folk eat like, ham on Christmas though.
NOTHING compares to my mom's turkey though, so I assume it is a sad time for others >:D .

Hey, we don't have turkey for Christmas in my house, we have ham.

And what does Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Independence Day have anything to do with each other? Independence Day is a patriotic holiday celebrating becoming our own nation. Christmas is a religious holiday (albeit one that has lost most of it's true meaning) celebrating the birth of my Lord and Savior. Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrating the first harvest in a new land, and the help received from people who had every right to treat us as "invaders". The harvest comes in the fall, you can't have it any other time. Also, for the record, Thanksgiving is actually EARLIER now than it was before. Originally, it was supposed to be the last Thursday of the month, but it was changed to the 4th Thursday of the month (to give a more solid "Christmas shopping season"). Yeah, that usually is the same thing, but on years where there are 5 Thursdays in November (like next year), it makes it earlier.

Calm down I wasn't being serious. XD Just making a quip about the differences in how our countries became separate from Jolly Ol England; birthplace of the lady on our coins.

I'm also well aware that the US is generally warmer, and thus food probably grows longer down there before becoming the victim of Mr. White Christmas AKA: Mr. Snow, AKA Mr. Ten Below. They call him Snow Miser up here; whatever he touches turns to snow in his clutch. He really gets to be too much some times.

Nope, the shirt is valid... there's an apostrophe after the "n" in the first word.

So it's "Effin" kids never...what...the last word is cut out on those panels...

Ahahaha, er, Yeah, I used the term Engrish sort of incorrectly*. I was referring more to it being a shirt that they probably don't know what it says ^^;

(Also, it's "never die" at the end there. heh heh.)

*Irony!
