Hi Henry
No we don't have a day solely to give thanks. We do have a few political
public holidays as well as Easter and Christmas.

Thanksgiving is a day filled with traditions. Although they might differ
slightly from family to family, the main pastimes stay the same: cooking
turkey and dressing, overeating and watching football.

Sometimes in the South, we put a different spin on those traditions that
might make them seem odd to outsiders. Take a look at the list below and
tell us which ones you'd add..

1. We put gravy on everything, from turkey and dressing to potatoes and
bread.
2. It's dressing, not stuffing. In the South, we don't bother sticking it
inside the bird because, you know, we're going to eat it.
3. In many Southern families, deviled eggs are a traditional Thanksgiving
dish.
4. Not wasting food is an art form, or a game of one-upsmanship, depending
on the family. The bottom line is, whoever can mix the last remaining
leftovers into a tasty dish, wins. For instance, we might make cornbread
into a "salad" or put sweet potatoes in our cornbread.
5. When you think you have enough casseroles, add one more (usually made
from all the leftovers).
6. We can suspend anything in gelatin and we're proud of it. Bananas,
strawberries, bits of pineapple and grapes are common items you might see
suspended in Grandma's Jell-O salad but what about ham? Or green olives? At
some point, people have tried it,

according to the Huffington Post.
7. We serve giant platters of pickled foods. Our relish trays might include
pickled okra, pickled peppers, pickled peaches, pickled asparagus, pickled
onions, pickled watermelon rinds and even pickled eggs. And that's not
including the variety of pickled cucumbers - dill, bread-and-butter or sweet
gherkin.
8. It's the only day of the year when eating four kinds of potatoes - sweet,
mashed, scalloped, potato salad - is not only accepted but encouraged.
9. We cook with Coca-Cola because ... why wouldn't we? Southerners make
Coca-Cola cake, Coke-glazed ham and a delicacy known as Coke salad.

10. On our coasts, we make dressing with oysters..
11. We don't put leftovers in those pretentious matchy-matchy containers.
That wouldn't be practical. Instead, we save the margarine tubs and Cool
Whip containers and use them to hold our leftovers.
12. Dressing is made from cornbread.
13. From all proud Southern craftersJill, I found this on an Alabama sight.
I tried to send it to this list and it won't go through.  Will you forward
it for me?  Have a wonderful day!
14.
