My coworker just asked me if my mil is sad dh can't be with his family on thanksgiving. This person has met my mil a bunch of times when she vists......from Europe.
I wish I could do a side eye face but I don't know how from my phone.

Maybe I'm missing something, I'm not seeing the big deal here.

I was confused as well but I am assuming that she is thinking CW is dumb because his family is from Europe so they don't celebrate Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is an American holiday. So the mil in Europe doesn't care.

Lol, I read through the OP 3 times and wasn't getting it. That makes sense. Although just because MIL lives in Europe doesn't mean she's from there, but I guess that's not the case.

Yup. Last year she asked me what his family ate for Christmas dinner. When I told her turkey she made a face and said aren't they sick of if after thanksgiving. I explained the whole they don't celebrate thanksgiving in ireland thing. I guess she forgot. I should have prefaced this story with that little anecdote.
