Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

While in the States, visions of turkey (and football) are 7-8 weeks away, Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October. Given the traditionally colder weather, this time of the year is more viable for family celebrations as opposed to late November.

The food menus are similar to the American version, and the Canadian Football League obliges with a football doubleheader. The Thanksgiving games are Saskatchewan at Montreal followed by Edmonton at Toronto.

So if you have Canadian connections, or you are looking for an excuse for a huge turkey dinner, today is the day. Enjoy!!!
