On my side of the pond, Christmas dinner tends to be a big thing. Big turkey and ham, mince pies, pudding and other stuff.
Or is Thanksgiving basically your big dinner event? We don't celebrate Thanksgiving.

Well, I assume mostly the Christians or those who were born with Christians parents. I came from a Roman Catholic background.
i do a big dinner at my aunt's house every year on 22 or 23 of December.
Typically a large family dinner isn't that uncommon, but for the most part Thanksgiving is the major event involving eating copious amounts of food. Honestly my family does a huge get together and we tend to have a large Christmas ham as well because up until I was around 16 years old I was effectively raised by a nanny due to my parents being very busy working, and of the ones that made the most impact on me were the first three, who in order were English, Irish, and Scottish. I can't imagine Christmas without a big dinner.
Yeah, we kind of have second Thanksgiving but without some of the usual Thanksgiving fixings. My dad will still brine and rotisserie-roast a turkey AND smoke a brisket/roast some prime rib, but stuffing and cranberry sauce isn’t usually part of it.
Depends on the family. For mine, Turkey is for Thanksgiving, and on Christmas, we have the traditional Christmas lazzania, then later the New Year's Smoked Ham. Then we basically fast for 2 months to drop the holiday gains :S
It's pretty common to have huge Christmas Dinners with family, yeah. Any chance to overeat and drink, we do it. Believe me.
Christmas and Thanksgiving used to be big dinners in my house, but have gotten smaller over the years due to my family now being all adults and, by the time we can get a break, we're exhausted.
In recent years, we'll sometimes go to a friend's house for holiday meals and, there, it's a pretty large spread.
But, as a whole, I think Thanksgiving is the main feast of the year (it's literally a holiday remembering a historical feast) and then Christmas and Easter just fall in line.
my family gets together with friends of the family for Christmas dinner and its never a dual moment over there
Don't forget with the exception of native Americans, the U.S.A is full of immigrants from other countries whom brought there own traditions from there homelands with them so Christmas is celebrated quite differently across the nation.
Christmas is even celebrated by many non Christians around the world and they kinda make up there own traditions.
That and there are no holiday police to kick down the door and make sure your doing it right.
Also jelly your childhood was full of hot nuns and mine wasn't. Nuns are always hot in the movies.

The trouble is that you aren't allowed to come on to them, even the ones who are actually hot. There's a reason Felicia left the convent to become basically a rockstar, after all...
I feel that it's ridiculous that other nations refuse to celebrate Thanksgiving, because the holiday is not even primarily about the slaughter of native Americans these days. *Le cough*
My family celebrates Thanksgiving because we have things to actually be thankful for, like the fact that we are alive, and that we know each other. You don't have to be American to be thankful for something. It's the giving of thanks, hence the term "Thanksgiving".
If I'm wrong, you may correct me, but I probably would not care, because I celebrate it my way.
We have a Thanksgiving Linner, where our meal is both lunch and dinner. Then, we have a Christmas breakfast, where we make a bunch of things for the breakfast, or some fancy thing for it, and our dinner used to be Christmas ham, but now is usually Christmas ribs once my Dad learned how to make them.

It never really was. It's specifically about celebrating the (very good) relationship between the Puritans and a specific tribe, the Massachusett. They were very friendly, and like all aboriginal American cultures effectively a Neolithic people. They taught us how to live here a little more effectively. They skipped our knowledge of that region ahead a fair distance, introduced several new foods to our diet, and taught us how to farm the soil of New England. In exchange we advanced their culture several centuries, and helped them defend themselves against tribes that were violent towards them.
People forget that we had great relationships with many tribes, and that a lot of them lived in a state of perpetual warfare. We're pretty far removed from going to watch clothes in the river and catching an arrow to the face from a Crow, so we just don't understand what it was like then, and back then it amounted to not really understanding tribal lines or etc.
And that the worst treatments including massacres like Sand Creek prompted action by the US. Chivington ended up imprisoned, along most of the soldiers that participated.
