I had Turkey and trimmings with the family yesterday. What is it with my family continually scheduling thing for NFL Sundays?

My sister who is pregnant and due around Halloween looked like she had a basketball attached to her mid-section. I dropped off a present for the new arrival, a Baby Einstein playset. We opened it up and looked at all the stuff inside. It's pretty cool. The baby can prop himself up in the middle and do his quadratic equations. Now I wish I had bought two and kept one for myself.

A delightful time was had by all. Happy Thanksgiving y'all.
 
I never even thought about Canada or other countries for that matter having Thanksgiving holiday. For whatever reason (probably ignorance and not paying attention) I just assumed it was an American thing.

Happy Thanksgiving you crazy canooks. Bye the way, what is the Canadian Thanksgiving a celebration of? I will Google it but explaining will keep the thread alive.
 
In the words of the Canadian Parliament..... you would never get away with this today.

A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed … to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October.

BTW that was January 1957 when they made that proclaimation.
 
After the Seven Years' War ended in 1763 handing over of New France to the British, the citizens of Halifax held a special day of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving days were observed beginning in 1799 but did not occur every year. After the American Revolution, American refugees who remained loyal to Great Britain moved from the newly independent United States and came to Canada. They brought the customs and practices of the American Thanksgiving to Canada. The first Thanksgiving Day after Canadian Confederation was observed as a civic holiday on April 5, 1872 to celebrate the recovery of the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) from a serious illness.
