What? I don't think so. I've lived in three countries, visited more than a dozen and of those only Canada celebrated Thanks Giving . Germany's Oktoberfest barely resembles Thanks Giving.
Just because there is no Turkey in their celebration, the core values are there. Like giving thanks for friends and family. http://www.thanksgiving.org.uk/around-the-world.html here is just 4.
I actually did toss a Football around after the Thanksgiving fest I had with my family, we went to the nearest park and I was terrible at it as usual in both catching it and throwing it! XD
