Site Administrator wildone Posted October 8, 2007 Author Site Administrator Posted October 8, 2007 Happy Thanksgiving to all you lucky people! We don't get to celebrate untill the last Thusrsday on November here in the USA. Do you have a turkey feast in Canada? (That is the tradition here.) Yes we do. It is basically the same as the US holiday of a feast to thank for the harvest. Since we are a bit more Northern, our harvest is a bit earlier. The only differnece is that it doesn't kick off the Christmas shopping season . Oh, and Thank You Ieshwar Steve
TonyM Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Being an American living in Canada, it seems to me that the holiday is treated more like just an excuse for a day off from work, not that I'm complaining about that! I definitely doesn't seem to be the huge family get together event like it is in the States. Of course that is probably due to the fact it is on a Monday instead of the kick-off of a 4 day weekend like the US. There isn't the time available for travelling. I hope everyone here in the Great soon to be White North enjoyed the day.
Conner Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 You're right on with your observation, Tony. Thanksgiving here is no where near the shindig it is in the US. It's October's holiday. Families do celebrate it but it's just low key....like everything else Canadian. Conner
Site Administrator wildone Posted October 13, 2008 Author Site Administrator Posted October 13, 2008 Well my house is slowly filling up with smoke as I cook my turkey in a little over an hour (don't ask, or I'll be forced to tell. But it does work really well ). So wanted to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians out there. Hopefully you all have some time off and able to celebrate everything that we have to be thankful for. Enjoy!! Steve
Tiger Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends. I have a question. Do you all stuff yourselves with turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie?

Cynical Romantic Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Yep, Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Canucks. Hope you all enjoyed the Monday off of work as much as I did. @TonyM, I think it varies, how much people celebrate Thanksgiving here. You're right in that it doesn't seem to be the hoopla that it is in the States, for most people. But it really depends on the family. Mine, for instance, never really celebrates it at all; we're generally holidayed-out by this point, thanks to the string of Jewish holidays that fall around this time of year. But I have friends whose families do the whole Turkey, family and football thing. And then there are those who take the opportunity for a weekend out of town while the weather's still nice. So, yeah, it varies. However you celebrated, hope you enjoyed it! And don't forget to vote tomorrow! Edited October 14, 2008 by Cynical Romantic

Conner Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Hmmmm...Thanksgiving holiday....a day before the Canadian election. Is there some irony here? Conner
Site Administrator wildone Posted October 14, 2008 Author Site Administrator Posted October 14, 2008 Hmmmm...Thanksgiving holiday....a day before the Canadian election. Is there some irony here? Conner Good point!! We got turkey today and we get another turkey tomorrow
Cynical Romantic Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Good point!! We got turkey today and we get another turkey tomorrow Well, it's the same turkey we had yesterday. Plus
Jack Frost Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) To me it's just a day off. It seems no one really celebrate it here in this province compared to the hypes I heard from people living in other provinces. I just slept all morning and then went to the caf Edited October 14, 2008 by Jack Frost
jfalkon Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 It's turkey time already!!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm not Canadian. Can I still use this as an excuse to eat too much turkey?
