[livejournal.com profile] stillvisions just referred to yesterday as Metric Thanksgiving. LOL. I'd never have thought of that. Much better than Amerigo Vespucci Day. Must file away for future use.

Thanks... I used to make a currency conversion joke but that doesn't work so well anymore [grin]

Sure it does, just in the other way. You get 1% extra pumpkin pie in a Canadian Thanksgiving now.

Why am I now thinking of my dad's old "Halloween = Christmas" joke? ;)

I don't know. What joke?

Well, you see, 31 Octal = 25 Decimal.

So, 31 Oct = 25 Dec.

So, Halloween = Christmas.

And all those goths out there with black Christmas trees are vindicated.

Alternatively, it is now okay to leave your Jack-o-lantern outside until Christmas, when the fact that it has gone mouldy will not matter because it is now frozen. (Offer not available in Florida and southern California.)
