    Redhot Jumper Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend

    Thanksgiving in Canada

    Thanksgiving in 2015 is on October 12.

    Thanksgiving in Canada is celebrated on the second Monday of October each year and it's an official statutory holiday - except in PEI, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia - however federally regulated institutions do observe Thanksgiving in those provinces too. In the US thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November.
    The original idea is to give thanks for the past harvest season but for many Canadian families the tradition has changed over time and the focus is now to get together with family and eat a large turkey dinner. Apple cider is a must for any traditional thanksgiving celebration as well as turkey stuffing and pumpkin pie.

    which is not bad for one day of 24 hours since posting on the Canadian Forum.

    The largest attraction is probably that the dates do not coincide with Thanksgiving in the USA. I wonder if Mexico has one too. (Just checked, but they have none)

    To our neighbors up North - Have a great holiday weekend! We still have about six weeks to go before roasting that turkey!
    Lost and confused in an optical wonderland!
