Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

A very HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all my dear American friends, not something us kiwis celebrate, but there has been a lot of talk on the radio about it in america and saying maybe it is time we in NZ did the same thing, here's hoping.

We don't so Thankgiving in Denmark, either, but here's what we do:

We have something called Morten's aften. These days we all have duck, which is one of my favourites. Here's an explanation: “Goose or duck is on the menu on November 10, when the Danes celebrate Saint Martin. Martin – or as it has become in Danish: Morten – was inaugurated bishop in Tours, France, on November 11 in 371. It is said that the pious Martin out of obsequiousness hid among the geese because he did not want to become a bishop. The geese however let him down by quacking, and it is said that in return Martin decided to punish the geese by slaughtering and eating them every November 10. Nowadays, goose is often replaced by duck on the menu Mortensaften (Morten’s Eve), probably because the size of a duck is more appropriate for the appetite of an average Danish familiy.”

The holiday celebrates the pilgrims and native Americans sitting down for a feast to celebrate the harvest.

It's a wonderful celebration that gives people a chance to reflect on things to be thankful for.

I hope it does come to pass for the people of NZ.
