Is there some sort of fall holiday that I am ignorant of for the English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Manx, Picts, Italian*, et cetera, to gather and chow with the family over the harvest ?
* i’ve hears some people in the UK say that their family can traced to the Roman invasion so I count them as Italian.
Harvest festivals are universal (at least in ag cultures), but I have to say that calling someone Italian because they can trace an ancestor back to the Roman invasion is a unique approach to ethnography.
sometimes conclusions need more than a leap.

I will not provide a link because discovery is its own delight, but thank you for that reference and I encourage everyone to go ahead and search that phrase.
