Had some turkey, cranberry, pumpkin pie last night. Still stuffed! Just want to shout out to those north of the border. And to those south of the border, you'll have to gear up for next month. It's festive occasions like this that makes me wish I had dual citizenship......

Oh....I thought the whole point of Thanksgiving was to do with the Pilgrims and the Indians, and all that stuff. I actually thought it was an American holiday.

We are a little earlier with some holidays and events. You have independance day on July 4th and we have it on July 1st. The american presidential election is in November, and we got to the polls tomorrow Oct.14th to elect the new or current Prime Minister. We don't have MLK day unfortunately. And I wish Halloween was a holiday.

I didn't know Canadia had it's own Thanksgiving holiday. The only holiday we have here between now and Christmas is for Melbourne Cup. Yes that's right - we take a day off for a horse race!

Isis, you'd be interested to know that there was a campaign to get St.Patrick's day declared a national holiday a few years ago, don't think it worked, but the parade here is big time, not on a scale of mardi gras per se, but the streets are flooded.
I'm liking the fact that Halloween is on a friday this year, very good for the kids.
