Yesterday Americans celebrated Thanksgiving. I couldn't tell you the exact origin of the holiday. It's a common beleive that the pilgrims at plymouth rock celebrated a huge feast with the native americans of the region and gave thanks for everything. But I think that's a little cloudy, and maybe just something we were told to have a holiday excuse.
But anyway, us Americans travel back to our homes see our families. We mainly give thanks to all the good things in our lives, and have a HUGE feast! The center peice is usually turkey.
Motherworld celebrates Thanksgiving also. Many of the NPCs will return to their hometowns. And you'll also see NPC's you've never seen before show up in each town, returning home. The homecomer in the middle of the town is abe. He reminds you that you should go see your family for Thanksgiving.
If you go talk to your Mom in your old house, it'll start a cutscene of you and your family eating together(Except for your father who's missing.) It kinda let's you know some of the characters better, and adds to the heartwarming atmosphere of the fall mood.
Where as Marty from Onett and Louie from Twoson will be arguing on the road to Twoson.
