We celebrate it in the same way we do the 4th of July - by doing nothing, for it has no relevance in the UK.

And for "Felix Arcanus" you need to learn your own history. The first colonists were at Jamestown,Virginia in 1607 and were English as were the majority of the religious nutbags that were shoved off on the Mayflower 13 years later. Therefore "America" was part of the British Empire until the French helped you out in 1776...

Nope we dont. Only in America.
It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in America. But over 95% of people outside the states dont even know when Thanksgiving is, Or even heard of it.

England does not celebrate a Thanksgiving Day but it should, as well as every other nation in the world. Although George Washington suggested we have a national Thanksgiving Day, and even though he introduced the idea to congress and it was passed, Thanksgiving Day did not take hold until Abraham Lincoln made it an official holiday. He made it a holiday because the country was in the middle of the Civil War and he wanted to bolster support for the union and also sort of quell feelings of regionalism. Boston editor Sara Josepha Hale had a big hand in helping to get Thanksgivng Day started by starting a campaign for it. She had been doing this for years, saying that Thanksgiving Day should be a national holiday to give thanks to God for all we have. Lincoln agreed, and then it took hold and we've been celebrating it nationally ever since. So as you can see, it was created to give thanks to God for all the blessings bestowed unto us from the wonderful creator. Every country should have a Thanksgiving Day and give thanks to God for all that He has given us. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!
