Thanksgiving is based on an historical event at the end of the first year of the Plymouth colony. It was a day of praise to God for surviving that year. It has been a bit abused and now centers around lots of HOMECOOKED food and football.

Or "He's a naughty little cat. Always getting into the cupboard and pushing all the dishes out." Of course when speaking of adults, in many situations, it has an entirely different context! But I highly doubt you've truly /never/ heard the word used in a nonsexual way! Most likely you just don't personally it that way, and perhaps your friends don'treally either. Also, I kinda felt like Joel & Lia were hinting at that just a tad, but it felt more implied. Perhaps that was just me? I know that they tend to say "naughty" to mean "bad" but they don't /only/ use it in that way :)

If you're having corn not on the cob, boiled in a pot of water, that would come in a can. Gravy might come in a can. But you have to get the stuffing correct. Nothing weird. Turkey, stuffing, potatoes (mashed or boiled white potatoes), squash, cranberry sauce, corn, sometimes peas. Might start with some kind of a soup, small salad, celery sticks with cheese on them, cheese and crackers, carrot sticks, olives, Any number of different kinds of bread (cranberry, corn, regular, etc), pie and ice cream for dessert usually apple pie, but any number of different kinds of pies.

The first Thanksgiving was in the 1600's and while the not-so-pretty side of it has come out in more recent times, the story goes that the European settlers had a meal with the Native Americans in celebration of shared peace and a good harvest. The 4th of July/American independence didn't happen until the following century. ;)

Heather Claypool Ok. I know the history of the Thanksgiving the US celebrates. However, the US isnt the only nation that celebrates it, and when the European settlers did celebrate it when they first got to North America, they were still....European. They hadn't "declared their independence" as an organization of unified states yet. So, again, I was going with US specific celebrations. Not trying to debate this ad nauseam, but all I was attempting to convey is that the first legit USA celebration was the 4th of July because it was literally us saying, "Here we are."

We celebrate thankfulness, and it's generally a big family-oriented holiday. From what they taught us in Elementary school, we celebrate it because Native Americans (I'm so sorry that the exact tribe isn't coming to mind at the moment) and Pilgrims came together.

Yes, this is what I understand. By the way most American’s had homecoming with little notion of what or why. It was a 1940s/ 50s thing we in the 80s felt to be nostalgic- when the football team came back from road games for the final home game

@davedaring9823

Not true; the school tries to make alumni come to the football game. Not that that would ever actually happen unless they are giving away prizes or something, or making a big deal about "20th anniversary of school opening", or it's one of those weird non-high-school high schools that apparently exists in urban cities that is basically pretending to be a college and if that also resulted in "specialty friends" similar to how a Moose Lodge or the Magridals would.

Natalie Pineda One of the earliest versions of french toast has been traced back to the Roman Empire. The name “french toast" was first used in 17th-century England. The recipe - and name - were brought to America by early settlers. In France, the dish is called “pain perdu," meaning “lost bread."

Highschool's in America ages: Senior age: 18 Junior age: 17 Sophomore age: 16 Freshman age: 15 In high school, the homecoming game celebrates the careers of the senior high school athletes, normally the football players. It's what we do for the senior because it's going to be there last year to play there sport until college. Than the graduate than go to college. Prom is like a celebration of your last year in highschool, we dance have fun than go to the after party. Than go home around 3am😂 I hope this helps you.

Difference in areas. Agree with prom except for us it combines junior and senior class. The junior class hosts the party for the senior class. We raise money selling junk from our 7th grade year to junior to pay for it. Homecoming is for alumni. When we "all" come back for one game. (Football for us but I know some smaller schools have it for basketball that dont have football.) We have senior night for every sport to celebrate the seniors. Normally the last home game of the year.

Spring break is a vacation in the spring for coddled college kids, who often go to Florida and get drunk and trash hotel rooms.

Tailgating has two meanings. 1. Driving to close to the car in front of you. 2. The pre-party at the football stadium. Usually involves bringing a grill, lots of food and drink. It's a great way of socializing.

Spring break occurs around Easter Holiday and Jewish Holiday. It's like one week in March. I think it was created to help keep teachers from going insane.

I am Native American. And Thanksgiving is a day that was set aside to remember when my ancestors helped Explorers survive their first winter here in the New World. Its a time were people of all races, epidermis colors, faiths, non-faiths, men, women, elderly, middle aged, and children come together and are thankful for life, each other, and all the things that bring us together as humans. It's celebrated usually on the 3rd Thursday of November. Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving for the same reason. My Blackfoot Nation's main reservation is located in Alberta, though my Siksika tribe [which makes up the Confederacy of the Blackfoot Nation] were migritorial peoples and can be found from Missouri headed west clear to Oregon where my family came after leading pioneers on the Oregon Trail. Canadians, and my Tribe usually celebrate Thanksgiving on the 2nd Monday of October....which is closest to the real day the Native Americans/First Nations celebrated it with the European Explorers. The only "canned" food we ate was pumpkin for the pumpkin pie, and maybe the cranberry sauce, although my family made it fresh. We celebrated it in Afghanistan and Iraq with our British allies, and they all loved it....and most of THAT was canned! roflol

In America we are lucky that the last three months of the year contain three consecutive major and wonderful holidays. October has Halloween, November has Thanksgiving, and December has Christmas. It makes those last three months so magical and wonderful.

“Americans think 100 years is a long time, Brits think 100 miles is a long way”... the best quote describing major cultural differences between the 2 nations. If you base your thinking geographically, it’s easier to understand American traditions like Thanksgiving, tailgating, homecoming, Spring Break as travel based traditions formed to battle the vast distances in such a large country. It takes much effort and money to visit your family, former classmates, stadiums, and holiday destinations when so much travel is required. Tailgating evolved from the need to be fed during a long trip to the game. Most large stadiums in the south are located in small University towns 100’s of miles from any large town. These small towns don’t have enough restaurants and hotel space for such large crowds. This lack of accommodation forced fans to bring their own food and drink for the day-long, pre-game meal in the parking lot of the stadium known as tailgating. The gathering of fans in the “car park” outside the stadium has grown to most college and professional football teams regardless of the need to Bring your own food. Homecoming is another answer to the hassle of travel. Because so many alumni have spread out away from their colleges to all corners of the country it is easy to lose the connection with your college and college friends. Once in the fall and once in the spring the college hosts homecoming events to reconnect alumni to the current faculty and students. Different college clubs, social org, and fraternal groups usually have week long activities as well for their former members. Homecoming gives alumni a chance to revisit old college friends and see the positive changes the school has made. It also gives the school a chance to fundraise towards the returning alumni who should have much more money to give with jobs earned with the help of the schools degree. USA universities are funded largely through donation. High Schools have just copied this tradition but on a much smaller and localized scale, usually involving former students within the same city. Spring Break is a “rite of passage” for high school and college students to “holiday” away from their parents for a week for the first time. This usually involves many inland students driving hundreds if not thousands of miles to warmer climates, usually the beach. Remember, most American students don’t get the opportunity to travel to different places much less different countries on the weekend like Europeans. Spring Break lets young people borrow the parents car, pack it full of friends and unsavory items and road trip to a warm place and party with barely clothed members of the opposite sex unsupervised. What’s not to like? Traveling for Americans is a much bigger commitment than for most Brits. If you want to get out of town and visit new places it requires a car full of gas, a huge chunk out of the calendar, and a pretty good reason. As an American, unless you live in the northeast along the coast, your spending a good portion of your life in a car going places instead of actually being places. Most of our culture and practices are manifested from dealing with the large size of America. As with the UK, so much of the culture and practices is manifested by the vast history of the country.

Brit: "year group" American: "class"

Homecoming is recognized at half-time during the first "home" football (American football) game, after the last "away" game of the season. There is usually a dance after the game. It's a dressy event, kind of like "prom". In any given sport's season (in this case it's football) there are a certain number of "home" games and a certain number of "away" games where your team goes to the competing school team's town and the game is played on their football field. A "home" game is played on your own football field, and the "Homecoming" game is the week after the last "away" game. It is played at "home".

What I'm getting from this is that Americans just know how to have fun 😂

Agreed but, based in my experience in the uk that I basically lived in my whole life before i moved in america 3 years ago. British people are more proper. We have to many breaks so we get to travel more in the uk than the us. Schools in the uk have more breaks so we get to party with friends all the time and we do our own parties. Since England had many cultures each person or groups have their own things to celebrate about so we get to do our own thing so...

Thanksgiving is really about spending time with your family. When you live in the USA, you have family who lives 3 hours north of you, another family 5 hours east of you, and your mother lives an hour south of you. So you invite them all to your home, everyone works together to cook a ton of dishes. you all spend time together cooking, eating, playing games, watching football. before eating, it is tradition to go around the table where everyone states what it is they are most thankful for. it acts as an opportunity for us all to realize life is about the people you spend your time with, and show them your love for them. Eggo is the brandname of a premade frozen breakfast waffle. you put them in a toaster and add syrup. its simple and easy. not really much flavor to it. eggnog is an egg based drink that also has cream and cinnamon added to it. its very thick and almost similar to milk. However it is considered a holiday season drink, or christmas and thanksgiving beverage. Many people like to "make it irish" , or add liquor, spirits, to it

Thanksgiving is traditionally done at the end of the harvest year. Due to the Indians saving the lives of the pilgrims by teaching them how to plant corn, they did the first Thanksgiving meal with them for a bountiful crop that would save their lives through the winter months. It is the most popular holiday for families to get together and share this time with a meal at the center of it.

Exactly

This is NOT a defense of these American traditions but rather a point by point explainer of the original intent behind them. Take this as you will. 1. Prom is the last dance for American Upperclassmen (16-18 year olds) while in high school (14-18 year olds). It's a sort of sending off celebration with your closest friends from the last 4 years before the Seniors graduate in between late May and Early June. You nailed it regards to Prom King and Queen which is why most schools have started phasing them out recently. 2. Homecoming celebrates the return of alumni (ex students) to their hometown since most move away and is usually the last time Seniors (year 12, the last American mandatory school year) play on their home turf (school sports are more important than club sports/travel ball teams in America). My high school had one for football and one for basketball. Alumni get discounts for their game tickets to encourage their return. 3. To avoid the stadium's expensive concessions, spectators will pregame and barbeque outside of the stadium in the parking lot. These tailgates prominently feature pickup trucks (aka noncommercial lorries) and SUVs/Crossovers. These parties can get pretty rowdy too (e.g. Buffalo Bills fans breaking plastic folding tables by jumping on them from a high point) and can be a high point of the day as fans get together to celebrate the upcoming game. Most people don't sell stuff outside of their cars trunks (boots). That's usually done in the suburban front yards of American homes or in what's called a flea market (a designated, second hand, bazaar style market where people sell stuff to one another). 4. Thanksgiving is the large wintertime meal for most Americans. It's also secular so almost all Americans can take part without feeling alienated (exceptions can ironically be made for Native Americans). This is necessary since we are a diverse country with a large range of religions so it would be awkward to force Non Christians to celebrate a Christian holiday like Christmas. Canned Food usually isn't allowed unless the family can't afford much else. Also, it sounds like you've never tried Pumpkin Pie before. 5. We didn't have any of these at the High School I went to. They appear to be more of a southern tradition rather than a West Coast thing. We do have a Winter Formal in High School where students from all classes dress in formal wear and bring dates. This takes place between December and January depending on the school. 6. Eggo's are frozen belgian style waffles that one stores in their freezer and then toasts/microwaves when they want to. Nothing more, nothing less with very few eggs involved. We don't have Eggy Bread either. We would rather have French Toast (the sweet version) instead. 7. Spring Break is exactly what it sounds like: a week long school break as the weather starts to warm back up in March so students can come back refreshed and ready to finish out their school year. This break can include both vacations (a popular option with college students which is the type you know about) and spending time at home. I don't know if you guys have actually traveled to America and spent time away from the touristy areas like NYC (this city is NOT a good representation of the rest of the country) and Florida. If you did, a lot of these customs would make a lot more sense to you. A good place to start would be the state of Ohio. That place is a microcosm of the rest of the country.

You guys have such a connection, it's a trip to just watch you talk to each other; like you can practically read each other's minds!

Lmao your explanation of every one of those events are completely off xD if you’ve never been to a thanksgiving, you haven’t a clue what it is. Canned food? People spend a week preparing to make a huge meal for their entire family.

Wyatt Thompson, technically Vikings got here first, but I digress, Christopher Columbus gets the credit. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a remembrance of the celebration feast the pilgrims had after coming to The New World.

I am SO triggered right now? Our holidays are not just an excuse for food. We eat food at most holidays because we like to have conversations and talk about our lives at a nice meal (sometimes it has things to do with religion, too.)Most people don’t use canned things (less fortunate people may have to for prices) and some things are almost specifically canned because you would have to go through a long process to get it yourself. Talking about any country’s holidays with no knowledge about them is a very bad idea in general, and inserting stereotypes is rude in most cases. This is the only video on this channel that has gotten me this angry! You guys did a bad job on this one.

Omg I’m American and the most stupid thing I hear Americans say is triggered. It’s so annoying. Yes we have holidays for more than food, but yes we like to incorporate food simply because we are an obese nation who loves to eat. But I got to say that Americans have way more fun and are way more passionate. Brit’s just seem so boring and uptight.

Omg...laughed out loud when Joel said you use any excuse for a party...I had no idea what homecoming was either...lol
