Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

We are thankful just about a month earlier than our American cousins. I should read up on why that is. Has to be because of the weather and the earlier harvest. We have anticipation of the snows that are due to arrive despite the fact that it has been a really warm October here in the tundra. Might be one of those years when we don't even get a white Christmas which would be sad. So enjoy your feast fellow Canadians and enjoy the week's worth of turkey and dressing sammiches. That's some gooood eatin'.

I think the cold has come down here to Vojvodina :) It's just 2*C currently :)
Hope you're having a lovely Thanksgiving, Cal!

Thanks buddy, and keep warm.

Cal, you will have a white Christmas. Me? Not so much, but I will still be doing more shovelling of the white stuff than I care for in January and February.

Kal said...

But at least you can prepare for that because of your location. We just never know here in the plains.

I said it earlier but since you did put up a post, Happy Thanksgiving! It's a well known fact that Canadian Thanksgiving beats the heck out of the American version.

Maybe you guys killed your first native a full month before we did?

Sorry, it's "holidays" like this (& our Chris Columbus Day) that make me remember that a bunch of white folk crossed the Atlantic, said God helped 'em do it and kept that mantra through the massacre of millions of people who had their own way of life and first rights to land here in North America.

No reason to make it sour. Happy Thanksgiving.

How can you blame us European white people though? When we arrived in the west on those three small ships the natives didn't speak our language and worshipped many gods. They were also Socialist Kenyan Marxists so we HAD to hate them. Don't you know nuttin'?

Durr, I forgots about they were Socialist Kenyan Marxists. Obviously Jeebus smote them with reason.
