Wikipedia: “Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general.”
I have no harvest to reap and I am not American. However, I am lucky to celebrate this day with turkey, family and friends nevertheless.
What is Thanksgiving Day to me, a Swede living and working in the U.S?

• Expensive travel
• Delayed flights
• Time to see family and friends
• A long weekend

There’s only one thing that could be better than raising money to benefit Prostate cancer research: growing a fantastic moustache!!
There isn’t a month at Meltwater that goes by in which friendly competition isn’t encouraged. This month, a friendly regional office competition has blossomed into a mustache showdown – and donor check books are at stake. Meltwater has regional offices around the world competing in a philanthropic game of facial-hair-farming in the name of Prostate cancer research.
Rules of the game: Teams go head-to-head to see who can raise the most money.
What’s at stake: Fierce bragging rights!
