Isn't it nice two Thanksgiving days? My wife is a canuck, so I guess I am Canadaian by marrage.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Robert, and all the Canadians on the board. My wife is American so we get another one in November.

No. Canadian Thanksgiving is this coming Monday. (Is it always the 2nd Monday of October?) The US Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November.

Have a great Thanksgiving.
The Canadian one is to celebrate the end of the harvest. The American one is the anniversary of that Pilgrim & Aboriginal truce dinner (that's if everything I have ever seen is not a lie!)
We have two thanksgivings at our house. The one in October we celebrate with our family. We throw another one on the US Thanksgiving for our friends. Everyone comes over and we watch football and cook. Last year my sister and I renovated our apartment just for our second Thanksgiving. It's one of my favorite holidays!
