I celebrated Thanksgiving by eating pizza with an Italian, a Swiss man, and 2 Germans in a guesthouse on the Annapurna trek. When asked about the holiday in the US, I said it involves eating a lot of turkey and pie with family and friends, and that no one should be alone for it, so you invite solo people to dinner.
When asked the history of the tradition, I said something about the Native Americans helping the pilgrims to farm in the new world, so they came together for a feast.
I was then asked if Native Americans celebrate it, but we both knew the sad history and irony in that inquiry...
