@Steve: So are you considered Maori? Sorry if I'm not up on the subject, just curious. I'm into Native American history, never thought much about Native New Zealand history. But hey, us old guys gotta broaden our horizons sometime right?

@BigFatHippo: Christmas is the biggie for us – family and food in abundance, at least in my clan.
Plus it’s the time everyone takes their annual holidays as it’s the summertime – although the weather is often better (where I live anyway) later in January and into February.
Where you guys essentially have two national-type holidays (4th July and Thanksgiving) we just have one – Waitangi Day on Feb 6.
No special food – just a day off!

@Steve: Nothings bigger than Christmas, man. It means so much more. But Thanksgiving is a time for family too, and lots of food. What's the biggest holiday in Zealand?

@Grey: Ha Turkey Finger? The Turkey Who Loved Me? Unfortunately no leftovers at The Hippo Family Thanksgiving. You ever seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? No? Me neither, but I imagine it's just like that.

@Eric W: Hmm... That name doesn't sound familiar. Maybe he goes by BigFatHippo. @BigFatHippo: What's with the past tense? I just had turkey hash for breakfast and will have turkey soup for lunch. It's like a Bond film here, but with turkey -- The Turkey Never Ends.

@Grey: Made my glorious return to the Bootheel, encountered no sweater thongs sad to say. Did meet a kid in a blaze orange Elmer Fudd hat, so I got that goin for me, which is nice. Hope you all tried to OD on tryptophan, it's not possible, or I'd still be asleep. Rip Van Winkle style.
