Awesome Thanksgiving for us!
We told our families we couldn't go because we were going to the opposite family for dinner....we then made pizzas and watch Dazed and Confused. |

1.) Yes, "we" lied.
2.) Just because nobody else can see Gridlock, it doesn't mean he isn't real.

Small "Thanksgiving" history lesson.
The first "Thanksgiving" was announced to celebrate the safe return of a band of heavily armed "hunters," who had returned from massacring 700 Pequot First Nations - men, women and children. The sharing of a "Thanksgiving" meal between pilgrims and First Nations never happened, it's a relatively new story.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone as well.
ended up doing something different for dinner and made a seafood boil instead, damn it was fricken good.
Crab, Clams, Mussels, prawns, red snapper, halibut broth, onions, celery, potatos and fresh fennel. |

Modern Thanksgiving in Canada being in October was something officially made a holiday in the 1950's(?). It changed dates a bunch of times before that and interfered with the planned November 11 holiday.
So really, Canadian Thanksgiving really isn't anything steeped in grand tradition. We don't have the equivalent first feast at Plymouth Rock with our native friends that we aren't at all interested in slaughtering touching little story that they tell American children, which is...
Is of course, kind of crap.
Modern US Thanksgiving is based on extending the Christmas shopping season.
