We have never cooked any large dinners here. I have never cooked a turkey and we have no space! Thank you for grandparents! We love you!

Going home for the first time in many years for Thanksgiving. It is always at my house but this year we are going to switch things up a bit.

I would love to have dinner at my home but we live in a small apartment and just can support too many people.

I'm really jealous of the people who celebrate Thanksgiving. We don't because I was not brought up in Canada during my childhood. What does Thanksgiving in Canada consist of?

A reason for family time. Like Christmas you eat and drink to much and spend time with family.

To me, Thanksgiving is about family. If you happen to over-eat and drink too much, it's just a bonus! :D

Thanksgiving just consists of your family getting together and lots of turkey, ham, apple pie and pumpkin pie...and just being thankful for all the things you have. That's what it means to me.

I know the story behind the American Thanksgiving is there a historic reason for the Canadian one

This is the info I've found about our Canadian Thanksgiving
As a liturgical festival, Thanksgiving corresponds to the English and continental European Harvest festival, with churches decorated with cornucopias, pumpkins, corn, wheat sheaves, and other harvest bounty, English and European harvest hymns sung on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend and scriptural lections drawn from the biblical stories relating to the Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot.
While the actual Thanksgiving holiday is on a Monday, Canadians might eat their Thanksgiving meal on any day of the three day weekend. Thanksgiving is often celebrated with family, it is also often a time for weekend getaways for couples to observe the autumn leaves, spend one last weekend at the cottage, or participate in various outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and hunting.
