Ummm...some of us don't even know what it's all about. We know that a lot of turkeys are sacrificed, but that's about it.
Is it a religious festival or a National pride thing...or something else again...what's it all about?

Educate me; the dumb-ass Kiwi that I am.

Dumb-Ass? Not hardly! Not by a long shot.
At it's base - our thanksgiving day is celebration of family, of the blessings bestowed by whatever spirit you follow, a day to celebrate the seasons harvest.. a day to rest and gather the family around you and enjoy each others company..

Not a new idea, not a novel concept... but certainly a great idea! I'd love to have you at my table someday - the story telling would become epic I'm certain!!!
