Trivia question: What is the only place in Australia that celebrates Thanksgiving? Norfolk Island. It has its own official Thanksgiving Day in November, though it falls on a Wednesday rather than the Thursday observed in the United States. I’m not sure why the Americans get a Thursday and Norfolk Islanders a Wednesday, but perhaps they have more important things to do on Thursdays. We are often encouraged to be grateful: to “count our blessings” or develop “an attitude of gratitude”. Good advice. But it raises a question: thankful to whom?
