HAPPY CANADIAN THANKSGIVING!
Canada's Thanksgiving always sneaks up on me. Even though it's traditionally always been the second Monday in October, it still feels early. Canada's Thanksgiving isn't rooted in the same traditions as their neighbours to the south. There are no pilgrims or Plymouth Rock connected to Thanksgiving in Canada, just a celebration of harvest, focused on family and food.
There is no black Friday the day after, Canadians hit black Friday sales the same Friday in November as they do in the US. Without a black Friday, and it being on a Monday, Thanksgiving tends to be a little quieter up north. It's celebrated over a long weekend with families (pre-pandemic) gathering on the Sunday or Monday to celebrate and feast. Wishing all those readers in Canada (and I know there are many) a peaceful, and enjoyable day!
