Thanksgiving in the UK

Thanksgiving does not exist. No mention of it. No day off at work. The schools will allow US kids an excused absence, but we didn't take advantage of it because the kids had missed a day due to sickness earlier in the week. No parades on TV, not even delayed. no 'Turkey Bowl' at church. You can get the NFL football games if you have the right sports channels.
We had a small family evening meal of turkey and fixin's, but it really didn't seem the same.
Kind of sad ...
