From Wikipedia...more than you probably wanted to know!!!
Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day (Action de grâce in French), is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks for the things one has at the close of the harvest season. In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October.
Traditional celebration
In Canada, Thanksgiving is a three-day weekend. The Monday is a statuory holiday in all jurisdictions except New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island [1]
As a liturgical festival, Thanksgiving in Canada 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. In Canada, 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.

This monday will be Canadian Thanksgiving. I always feel quite homesick for my home and native land during this time of year, especially right around thanksgiving. This year, I decided to invite a few close friends over and am cooking a thanksgiving feast with all of the trimmings on sunday :)I went on the hunt for a turkey today, which I initially thought wouldn't be too big of a deal but turns out was harder than I thought. I ended up calling 5 grocery stores and stopping at one butcher and had no luck, until I called the 6th store and they had turkeys. I pretty much ran to the store, at 8:30 at night to make sure no one else took my turkey (who knows how many other Canadians in Broomfield will be cooking a turkey this weekend!). Got my turkey, and even better it's a fresh turkey.
I will be making this recipe. Hope it turns out :)
Are you sitting down?
I actually worked OUT tonight. Here's a double shocker, Austin came with me and rode the bicycle :)
Yahoo! Here's to making this occurance a little more of a regular occurance.
