Happy Thanksgiving To My Canadian Friends!

Don't eat too much. We don't want you all to get sick now. ;)
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canadian guys (the hottest guys in the world, in my experience) \:/ :gogirl:
 
I'm going to have to make room for all that turkey tomorrow! My family usually makes too much food for everyone to eat, so it's shoved down our throats. #-o

And again on Monday. . . and Tuesday. . . and Wednesday. . . Etc. Etc.

And just when you run out of Thanksgiving leftovers, it's time for Christmas.
 
Lets replace Halloween with Canadian Thanksgiving. I would love another holiday to have turkey, and all the trimmings.

Pretty much. I'll be eating turkey sandwiches for quite some time, I gather. Not that I'm complaining though. Turkey is delicious. :)
 
What the hell have Canadians got to be thankful about??

You're the child of France and the lesbian sister America.
 
My family doesn't really celebrate thanksgiving so it's just another day. I decided to stay at the university instead of going home like everyone else. It's so quiet and I think I have the whole floor to myself. I love it lol.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone else!

I dunno. Maybe because they're immigrants and don't really celebrate any Canadian holidays. They have their own religious holidays and that's really all they celebrate. So for me, it's always just been a day when all the stores are closed and I have the day off school.
 
I'm jealous. We have to wait another month and half until our Thanksgiving. I love turkey and stuffing (my mom's stuffing, that is).

Happy holidays!
 
A very Happy Thanskgiving to all of our Canadian Jubbers (and to those of you who are Canadian and living in the US)!!!!!!

My northern neighbours know how much I respect and love them!

Canada Rocks! (!)
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in Canada.

I always have wondered why the U.S. Thanksgiving is celebrated near the end of November and why it is on Thursday. In the days when this was a land of farmers, the harvest was in and the weather was still reasonable in mid-October. By November it was then and is now pretty much winter.

My Dad grew up in the deep South, and he said that during Roosevelt's presidency there was a northern Thanksgiving and a southern Thanksgiving which were observed on different days of November. Therefore, I have to conclude that the whole thing (day and month) is political and really has nothing to do with an agrarian culture.

Here's to our Canadian friends. I think they got it right!

The First Thanksgiving

The first American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621, to commemorate the harvest reaped by the Plymouth Colony after a harsh winter. In that year Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving. The colonists celebrated it as a traditional English harvest feast, to which they invited the local Wampanoag Indians.

Days of thanksgiving were celebrated throughout the colonies after fall harvests. All thirteen colonies did not, however, celebrate Thanksgiving at the same time until October 1777. George Washington was the first president to declare the holiday, in 1789.

A New National Holiday

By the mid–1800s, many states observed a Thanksgiving holiday. Meanwhile, the poet and editor Sarah J. Hale had begun lobbying for a national Thanksgiving holiday. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln, looking for ways to unite the nation, discussed the subject with Hale. In 1863 he gave his Thanksgiving Proclamation, declaring the last Thursday in November a day of thanksgiving.

In 1939, 1940, and 1941 Franklin D. Roosevelt, seeking to lengthen the Christmas shopping season, proclaimed Thanksgiving the third Thursday in November. Controversy followed, and Congress passed a joint resolution in 1941 decreeing that Thanksgiving should fall on the fourth Thursday of November, where it remains.
