There is no such a festival in Poland like Thanksgiving Day, known for us only from American movies and series. It is however quite a nice festival and I regret we do not have one regarding thanksgiving for anything in Poland.
Prayers before meals, saying “thank you God for the Oscar Prize”, eating turkey on Thanksgiving we, Polish, call very American gestures and laugh at it as we find it extravagant and funny.
Anything that somebody did for us, we could have done better by ourselves, so there is no need to say thank you. It is obvious. I suppose, saying thank you is at variance with Polish national pride. If you saw Polish saying that, he or she for certain had lived abroad for some time.
Funny isn’t it? : )
