Happy Thanksgiving - 2015

By +Ian C

It has become a tradition for us to make a list of the things that we at Slap The Penguin are thankful for. I have been living in America for a little over a decade and as an outsider I have seen some changes in the sentiment behind Thanksgiving. The emphasis on gratitude and family is slowly being stripped away by the commercial side of America.

Finally after 4 previous Thanksgiving posts it's my turn. I am thankful that they didn't give this post to the new girl , and I don't mean Zooey Douchecanal. In other parts of the world, Thanksgiving (and it's variants) is about celebrating the harvest and giving thanks for the blessings of the year, yet in America the focus is on food (including beer), football and family in that order.

Today is the 392nd anniversary of the first Thanksgiving celebration which happened back in 1621. It is also the 4th anniversary of us at Slap the Penguin wishing our readers a Happy Thanksgiving. Over the years we have approached the celebration in slightly different ways, but the message has always been the same.

He hasn't heard of bacon wrapped turkey with bacon stuffing?

I am honored to be writing this year's Thanksgiving post, or at least I thought I was until I reviewed the previous year's posts. It seems that Ian C doesn't take our beloved holiday as seriously as those who were actually born in this country.

Happy Thanksgiving? - A matter of perspective

Today  is the day when America prepares a strategy for Black Friday shopping. For those who are not familiar with Black Friday, it is the day after thanksgiving when all the big box superstores offer ridiculous loss leaders to woo consumers into their stores for a pre-christmas shopping frenzy.

Happy Turkey Day

The staff at Slap the Penguin sincerely wish all of our readers a Happy Turkey Day. Unfortunately we are two weeks late, but if we posted the story back on the 14th of November, the National Day of Turkey, then it wouldn't have been funny.

Turkey - Not Actual Size and certainly not stuffed.
