Canadian vs. American Thanksgiving feasts
On Thanksgiving, most North American families enjoy a big turkey dinner with all the fixings. Although Canadians and Americans both celebrate the holiday, Thanksgiving can be very different south of the border.
Canadian Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October to coincide with harvest. In Canada, Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for food, friends, families and everything good in our lives.
