BJ and I acquired a 10 pound turkey, so we're having Summer Thanksgiving tonight.

What's the nearest holiday in the country you're in? I think our next one is labor day, but I have no idea what that means.

Father's Day on Sunday, I usually take Dad out for lunch or something, I might see if The Dark Knight Rises is still out as well because he really likes the Batman movies xD

On a somewhat related note, I get to spend Halloween and Thanksgiving in the USA, two holidays that aren't celebrated over here, so I'm looking forward to that!

Labor Day is next week. Basically everyone gets a day off of school/work and you're not supposed to wear white after that.

Labor Day celebrates the working man by giving him a day off.

that most people who don't have college educations don't get. I've had labor day off maybe once in the 8 years I've been working.

The period July through October is pretty much devoid of holidays in Sweden. All Saints' Day (the poofter version of Hallowe'en) is the next thing on the calendar, I think, at the end of October/start of November. I plan to introduce Thanksgiving here though 'cause I like food. We can be thankful for being rich and having invented Minecraft and stuff.
