I just learned this weekend from my pal Bill in Nova Scotia that this Monday (today) was Canadian Thanksgiving. From here in the States, let me wish all of our Canadian friends the very best on what I assume to be an official holiday for you guys.
Can you tell me, Milli, something of the origin of Canada's Thanskgiving? I notice it's almost two months earlier than our American version? How did your version get started? And any special Thanksgiving lore peculiar to the Great White North that can be shared for an ignorant Yank like me?
All the best to you,
Scott in Texas
PS - Milly - check out the Welcome Center in "Anything Goes" - I wants me some a that champagne & cherry cake!
The Thanksgiving was great, although I spent a good part of the day cleaning and shopping .. ;) The weather was gorgeous and the sun was out .. today it is gray and rainy and cold .. no sun in sight :-\
Roland and Jane ~ hope you didn't overindulge on Turkey and mashed spuds .. ;D
A Very Happy, Very Belated Thanksgiving, my Canadian Friends!
