I keep hearing a lot of people talk about Thanksgiving, but I'm sure I'm missing some of the important details still. [ He gets the THANKS and GIVING parts, but the holiday itself is confusing. ] I don't even know where America is, or what the people are like-- [ Or what an American is for that matter. ] It's gotta be like one of the four nations

I see someone has beaten me to the explanation.

[100yearsgone]

So maybe you can tell me why people celebrate it anyway? [ He looks hopeful. ]

[duplicitas]

It's an opportunity for them to gather and give thanks.

[100yearsgone]

What do they give thanks for? [ Here's to hoping she doesn't say the slaughtering of innocent people for their land. ]

[duplicitas]

Depends on the person. Most give thanks for the people in their lives.

[100yearsgone]

That doesn't sound so terrible... Do you celebrate it?

[duplicitas]

Not usually.

[100yearsgone]

Considering how terrible this place can be, [ And he's been her for less than a month.. ] I guess I have a lot to be thankful for. But I still can't believe people ignore what happened to all of those people. At least, that's what it sounds like.

[duplicitas]

People typically strive to avoid unpleasant things.

[100yearsgone]

Yeah. You're right. [ He's still upset about this holiday. ]
