    Re: Happy Thanksgiving

    Okay Stefan,
    there is no important agriculture in the far North but hunting season all year. Maybe there is another date to celebrate life cycles, isnīt it?
    Whatīs about Midsummer?

    Oh, there is agriculture. It's just that the growing season is just 121-181 days, depending on where in the country you are. I think it's something like 250-280 days where you are.

    Midsummer is already taken. Officially by John the Baptist.

    Yeah, I almost added that midsummer was theirs until the 1300s.

    It's essentially the same with all holidays, including the one people just celebrated in late October and the big one coming up in just under a month.
