It's done... I prayed to Jeblooper for the food (Not really lol)
and the non-witness guy made a toast which I accepoted before anyone could say no.. it was to family and friends.
Actually after dinner with local turkey (from a farm a mile away) and local wine (from a vineyard 1/2 mile away from people I know) I checked the origins of Thanksgiving...
It goes back way futher then the USA in the 1600s... CNN places it on Baffin island but I think this is wishful thinking...
I think harvest festivals are very common in every culture (even the Jews have 'Booths') and this is no different a simple harvest festival to eat the first fresh crops.
