Canadian Thanksgiving always falls on the second Monday in October. It is a truer date to celebrate the end of the harvest season. Although it looks a lot like the US one, theirs is more of a run-up to the holiday season.
We, personally, have a wonderful tradition of having a large Turkey dinner with friends. It's been going for decades, at this point. We drive to Richmond and enjoy the special occasion and the company. A change is that we're doing it on the actual day this year. We're mostly retired so there's no reason for be up early on Tuesday. In the past we often observed on the Saturday or Sunday.
Today, though, Jay gave us the chance for some mini-thanks. We celebrated in the apartment with chicken, but it had some semblance of being out of the ordinary. It was prep for the vast quantity of food and drink we'll be offered tomorrow.
