International Thanksgiving Battle!

Japan's Labour Thanksgiving Day celebrates labor and production, a carryover from the rice harvests of old. America's Thanksgiving commemorates the Indians helping the Pilgrims through sparse harvests, a feeling of teamwork, unity and gratitude. Later, the Indians are repaid with smallpox, genocide. Japan wins. OTOH, Japan only gets 3 days off, America gets 4. So we'll call it a draw.
