....Thanksgiving or Christmas.
I'm English, and we don't have Thanksgiving here. What kind of traditional things do you do on that day?

You have so many more fun days than we do. All we have is Christmas and Easter. Oh, and Bonfire Night when we "celebrate" the life of someone who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament. LOL

It is Christmas.
Thanksgiving is just an excuse to overeat, overdrink and say nasty things about the relatives

i would have to say that the 4th of july is the biggest holiday with christmas being the one with more money spent. a for tradition on thanksgiving, its suppose to be a day to celebrate the success of the first colonist to survive on the continent. typical day for family to gather and gorge themselves on turkey dinner with potatoes, yams, cranberry sauce, vegetables, breads, most any dishes will do. there are parades to watch on the television, football games, and i think that is the day the shoppers all take the store ads and plan out the next days spree.

the way i look at it, its between thanksgiving and july 4th (independence day) cause there are many religion that don't believe on christmas. but our family believe in christmas...
regarding thanksgiving, its a celebration between the pilgrims and the native indian friendship with the abundance harvest during the early years. and that become traditional for the american to share, celebrate and give thankful for the bounty throughout the year. traditionally served turkey dinner, candied yam, cornbread dressing, vegetables, variety of pies and now these days, they added ham or roast..usually the houses are decorated with falling leaves, pumpkins, cornucopia...
july 4th is our independence day..there are plenty of fireworks, barbecue and get together of everyone to commemorate the freedom we gained after the civil war.....
but for our family. the biggest is the christmas since we celebrate the birth of our lord., this is the time we share joy, peace and happiness with others, there are carolers, exchange gifts sometimes called kris kringle, gift giving to family and friends, god children's visits, company parties, church celebration, christmas music, santa claus and the reindeers, lights and decorations all over the place, holiday shopping, the atmosphere is joyful, new stuff, christmas scent is all over..you can feel the season...just describing it makes you wonder is there any holiday similar to this annual event?i don't think so......

I think Christmas is the biggest holiday in Christmas. People spend alot more money during the Christmas season, then Christmas. I also have more company during christmas then any other holiday.

Thanksgiving is a day we give thanks for being "seperated" and our own country.
I think Christmas is the bigger holiday. I love Christimas!
