He's always the first one to say it, and I politely return the gesture, but it's still a bit awkward. Happy "Freedom from the Brits" Day to you as well.

I don't know how he feels saying it, but I think I'd feel even more awkward if I were on the other end.

me: "Happy Kick the Americans Out Day."
Vietnamese or Afghani friend: "Happy Kick the Americans Out Day to you as well."

No wonder it's awkward if you're celebrating the wrong holiday compared to everyone else.

She certainly got the better genetics of the two siblings.

The title was meant to say British boyfriend.

Somehow, that got cut off. I must have deleted the wrong word trying to fit the character limit.

TC, you're thinking of 4th of July.
Thanksgiving is, vaguely, about celebrating good harvest and giving thanks to those who we lost and to those who helped us in our time of need.

If you want to ignore the history then sure.

I mean... just pointing this out there, but a lot of celebrated days have changed over the years. Thanksgiving to me is just spending time with family and those you love and being thankful for the good food put on the table. Mind you, my Thanksgiving was back in October, but I digress. Same with Christmas. It's supposed to be this big religious holiday, I just use it as a day to buy family members gifts and vice versa because I want to give them something they can make use of for the next couple months.

Plus we get a nice butterball turkey dinner which is always delicious... which reminds me that I need to start looking around the city for frozen butterball turkey rolls as I like to have them as a substitute for chicken in my diet now and then. They are ridiculously expensive at 35/40 CAD per roll, but my god are they good.
