i work with a woman in the UK, and i just sent her an email saying my brain had already left for the thanksgiving holiday, and she emailed me back wishing me a happy holiday. do they celebrate thanksgiving? do i say "same to you" or just "thanks"?

I work with someone in New York and he said this afternoon he was off for his holiday, he said it was like Christmas without the religion, presents and stress. I was laying on the floor drinking beer throughout this phone call, everyday is Christmas for me.

Thanks Giving doesen't happen in the UK although there is Guy Fawlks night which is between Canadian Thanks Giving and American Thenks Givin.
As far as an answer to her good wishes, tell her, not to make a mockery of your traditions and that she has spoilt a beautiful holiday by her actions

i do, but who really celebrates thanksgiving for the original reasons? the pilgrims, and all those who followed them, basically stole this country from indigenous peoples. i definitely do not celebrate their "accomplishments".
to me, thanksgiving is a time to be grateful for all of the blessings God has given me over the past year. it's a pretty universal holiday, in my opinion.

Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance 'Neath the cover of October skies And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that play soft and low And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one a' more Moondance with you, my love Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight I can't wait 'til the morning has come And I know that the time is just right And straight into my arms you will run And when you come my heart will be waiting To make sure that you're never alone There and then all my dreams will come true, dear There and then I will make you my own And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside And I know how much you want me that you can't hide
One more Moondance with you in the moonlight On a magic night La, la, la, la in the moonlight On a magic night Can't I just have one more dance with you my love
