I am thinking maybe there are no more Thanksgiving's songs because people take the Season as a whole part and not just by days. <a href="https://www.statista.com/chart/16214/christmas-songs-on-spotify-in-the-united-states/" rel="nofollow">Christmas songs % Spotify Streams.

I have always looked at the north American culture and wondered:<br /> [what is thanksgiving] <br />At its simplest, it seems like a family gathering (feed the family, of course) where statements of thanks addressing many topics are presented to the family and very often to the family god.<br /> [who is thanked on thanksgiving]<br />Snippets from the first twenty links from Google suggested: 1. the family cook, 2. farmers generally, 3. the family god.<br />I was drawn to this 15th link https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/inspired-life/wp/2016/11/24/the-science-behind-why-you-shouldnt-stop-giving-thanks-after-thanksgiving/<br />I think that Google knows that I am a scientist that clicks on any articles with the term 'science' in it.<br />I clicked.<br />It seems that the act of saying 'thanks' out loud to people who matter (family) internalises the auras and chuckras; even to say 'thanks' to the farmers who are absent.<br />From the first 20 snippets from Google, it seems that no one actually reaches out and personally thank a farmer.<br />I better check that I am right that there is no thanksgiving in Australia:<br /> [thanksgiving in australia]<br />Snippets:<br />Thanksgiving in Australia is a strange experience for an American <br />Make Australia grate(ful) again: We need our own day of Thanksgiving<br />Why don't Australians celebrate Thanksgiving?
