Q: I just thought, Americans must get a double whammy of turkey-trimmings-family feasting in two months, what with celebrating both Christmas and Thanksgivng. Do people generally go all out on both, or is one more important? If so which?

A: Thanksgiving is traditionally turkey, and Christmas dinner can be anything, ham, turkey, roast chicken, even beef. I think Thanksgiving is more about the food than Christmas is.
