Who cares, as long as it's accurate enough to get it into your mouth! ;D

Happy Day to all of our Northern freinds! :)

Just a quick question, how are all of you smart enough to convince the powers-that-be that ya'll should celebrate your own holidays & ours as well? ??? :o :P

Don't share if it will ruin it for you, you got a great thing going! ;D ;D

I turn the big 50 this weekend and I think my friends are plotting revenge for all the roasting I have done at their recent landmark birthdays. More than 1 turkey is going to be roasted at our house this weekend!

A history lesson for ya Kirk. ;)

The very first Thanksgiving celebration in North America took place in Canada when Martin Frobisher, an explorer from England, arrived in Newfoundland in 1578. He wanted to give thanks for his safe arrival to the New World. That means the first Thanksgiving in Canada was celebrated 43 years before the pilgrims landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts!

Nowadays...the Canadian Thanksgiving follows the traditions of Europe and celebrates the harvest. That's why ours is in October. Same name different reasons.

Take that Kirk :o ;D ;)

P.S. Happy 50th T2 Tom :o
