Sitting here with a full belly of Turkey & trimmings, not to mention Apple Pie.

I need to go read about fasting (I'M STUFFED!)

Happy Thanksgiving, I didn't know you celebrated that as well. Good to know.

What prompts your thanksgiving day?

so is the Mid Oct. Canadian version of Thanksgiving similar to the American late Nov. version?

Looks like the same thing as American Thanksgiving! Their harvest is just sooner than ours because of the climate.

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day (Canadian French: Action de grâce), is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks for the things one has at the close of the harvest season. Some people thank God for this bounty.[1] The holiday is celebrated on the second Monday in October.
