@jeduchscherer James, what does the Canadian Thanksgiving celebrate? We had the Pilgrams and the foodfest with Native Americans for our model. What’s your celebration about?

@atlantarobin Hi Robin. Our thanksgiving is connected to the harvest which is earlier because we’re situated in a more northern lattitude. We celebrate with the same large banquet of a meal with close friends and family The second Monday in October of each year is when we celebrate and is a national statutory holiday. It’s not as important a holiday as is celebrated by our southern neighbours. Christmas is still the biggest holiday of the year in Canada. At Chriristmas time we have both Dec 25th and 26th as national holidays. Hears a good link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(Canada)

James, thanks for sharing this with me. In all my years, I guess I’ve never really thought to ask about the special holidays of other countries until I became so entrenched on the Internet that my closest friends are now scattered across the world. Thanks again for sharing Canada’s Thanksgiving with me. Hope you had a hearty feast!
