jumpingbeans Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I'd like to give a (early, perhaps) Happy Thanksgiving celebrations to me, Xepha, masaryk_the_mad, and Lego Man. And to you other folks: I'd like my present in form of Cash or Check, please. :) Quote
Viridian Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 and to my boyfriend :) Happy thanksgiving to you guys, and I hope to be part of you soon :D *wants to move* Quote
Masaryk Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadians! (and I guess Happy Columbus Day to all Americans) Anyone doing anything special to celebrate? I already had my Thanksgiving dinner last night. My family and my in-laws came over for supper, so I spent most of yesterday cooking turkey and roast. I'm still exhausted. At least I now have two more days of weekend to relax and recover. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted October 10, 2010 Author Posted October 10, 2010 LM and his mom are coming over to my house, for our Thanksgiving dinner tonight. Quote
Noog Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 So it's thanksgiving in Canada? Have a happy one then :) Quote
Tyler. Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Happy Thanksgiving Canada, didn't know Canada had one Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 They do. It's just earlier than the American Thanksgiving. Quote
Masaryk Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Canadian Thanksgiving is always the second Monday in October. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted October 10, 2010 Author Posted October 10, 2010 What's the American Thanksgiving? Isn't it like the third Thursday of November, or something? Quote
livvy Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Something like that, yep. :yes: I always want to say it's the 24th, but not necessarily. I'm guessing the first Thanksgiving I remember must have happened on the 24th. Only explanation I can find. /ramble Quote
jumpingbeans Posted October 10, 2010 Author Posted October 10, 2010 No, I checked, it's on the fourth Thursday of November. Why don't they just merge them? Quote
The Score in Blue Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Happy Thanksgiving! btw, what do you guys actually do on Thanksgiving? Quote
-Ryan Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Happy thanksgiving Canadian people. ^^ I ddin't know, either, Tyler. xD Quote
Masaryk Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Happy Thanksgiving! btw, what do you guys actually do on Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is kind of a fall harvest festival. It is a statutory holiday in Canada, so many businesses are closed. The holiday is always on the second Monday in October, but most people will celebrate on Sunday, instead. Most people celebrate by having a traditional family dinner of turkey, dressing, potatoes, carrots, and other root vegetables. Pumpkin pie is a common desert, though I think pecan pie, apple pie, and (maple) sugar creme pie are also commonly enjoyed. Quote
hrtbrk Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 *hugs everyone* Happy Thanksgiving. October is my favorite month - start of hockey season, holds my favorite two holidays and starts the countdown to my birthday! :laughingsmiley: Quote

October is my favorite month - start of hockey season, holds my favorite two holidays and starts the countdown to my birthday! :laughingsmiley: Lucky you! So what's the official countdown? Wow, a family dinner sounds so good. I've never had turkey, and I've always wanted to try pumpkin pie. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted October 11, 2010 Author Posted October 11, 2010 It's really good. You should try some *transports the turkey and pumpkin pie to you through the internet* Quote
The Score in Blue Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks JB! *gratefully accepts pie and turkey and cuts slice of pie* No holidays for us until Christmas :( Quote
jumpingbeans Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 Don't you guys have Halloween? Or Remembrance day? I thought they were universal. And I forgot to get you the cranberry sauce! *Gives Zakuro Cranberry Slice* Quote
The Score in Blue Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Oh Halloween is still here, just the costumes and a couple of kids walking up the street for sweets (that's candy for you guys). No Remembrance Day, just Labour day and Waitangi Day. Thanks for the Cranberry Sauce. *returns cranberry slice*, we have cranberry sauce here already. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 *Gives cranberry back* It's good enough for you to hav4e it. Cranberry is just that awesome. I'm guessing you also have potatoes, carrots, turnips, etc. If not, I'll ship some off to you. Quote
The Score in Blue Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 No thanks... *pushes cranberry sauce onto dining table* Yes we have everything! So... when is the actual US Thanksgiving? Quote
Tyler. Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I believe it is one the 25th of November this year Quote
The Score in Blue Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Ah. It is definitely not a recognised holiday here in NZ. Well, thanks for the food! *passes around the turkey from JB* Quote
jumpingbeans Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 Yep, don't mention it. I'm always willing to share. Just don't touch the Apple Pie! Quote
