Also, and I this may not apply to everyone, but I believe most Americans see Thanksgiving as a more extended family holiday. Thanksgiving is the big family gathering with your grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, which is why the biggest travel day of the year is right around November 25. Christmas is more nuclear family with smaller gatherings and less traveling.

My family's Christmas is Second Thansgiving, but with bonus desserts. Mostly pie, cookies, and candy *NM*

Or rather... Fifth Thanksgiving. Thanksgivings 2, 3, and 4 are all about Thanksgiving 1 leftovers. *NM*

We have different icing. It is not typically a very dense, flat sheet of solid icing. Like fondant.

There are other birds which it's "acceptable" to eat at Christmas, other than turkey.

Fruitcake, I guess. But we don't coat it with disgusting icing. And it's not really cake. *NM*
