Default Happy Thanksgiving, Canadians!

To all my fellow countrymen and women celebrating Thanksgiving today, I wish you and your families all the best. I am truly thankful for all I have in my life, including this very special place on the net. I am very blessed indeed.

What Greg said...

How do you typically observe it?

What is a typical Thanksgiving day feast?

For us: Turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, beets, pumpkin pie.

Yes, similar traditions though it's not quite the big event that it is in the States. Our BIG family dinner is still reserved for Christmas. Thanksgiving is generally a bit lower key .... just a nice, relaxing time to be with the family with no big hype around the holiday. Having said that, I had 2 turkey dinners this year ... yesterday at friends, today with my family. Yikes ... I am stuffed!!

The holiday has lost some charm for me and Christmas remains the big holiday. I have worked in a Mall for 29 Years so Thanksgiving Day is always been the calm before the storm for me. New Years Day is the best as then the season is done and I can finally crash and watch Football all day with friends.
