"Why is it called Thanksgiving dinner, when it is served in the middle of the day?"

Thanksgiving may be a big family holiday for most Americans, it didn't mean anything to my family when we moved to the US from France. So I can relate to the people mentioned in Vanessa Hua's article yesterday. A San Francisco Chronicle writer, she wrote a story about Thanksgiving yesterday and what it means to immigrants in the Bay Area. She reports "When a 20-pound turkey emerged from the kitchen at a weekend dress rehearsal for Thanksgiving dinner, about two dozen Chinese immigrants pulled out their digital cameras and snapped away."
