Happy Thanksgiving, Americanos! I honoured your annual turkey massacre with some local peeps this year. I brought delicious pie as my sacrifice to the great harvest god!* I know he will be glad of it, though I am a month late and far from home!

Seriously, it was a good time, I am glad I had a chance to see these folks again - some of whom are on LJ and who I must track down. Soooo muuuuuuch fooooood! All the traditional bits, plus a turkey cordon bleu. I'm still full, and we finished eating hours ago. And yes, [livejournal.com profile] tethys123, there is some left over Pie :V

*Pictured here without the annual crop of sacrificial pumpkins. The flowers represent his power over fertility. Cherish his blessing, fear his displeasure!

All hail the mighty potato deity, worshiped by our Celtic ancestors since time immemorial!*

*"McCoy goes on to tell us that the ancient Irish had a religious belief that involved the worship of the potato as a symbol of fertility and of the Good Goddess of the Earth: "Because they grew underground, potatoes were sacred to the Goddess and used in female fertility rites," she writes (p. 82)"

And don't forget the pumpkins!

Although she doesn't mention my favourite histiorical fallacy, which is that really, the 'Celts' as a people, and their druids, were mostly in Germany, France, and Spain!

He's the Big Potato Man! If you'd grown up in Fredericton, you'd have grown up to love him, not fear him.
