Happy Thanksgiving!

[Arwen Imladris]

Whoa!

I thought Thanksgiving was only a United States thing.

????
Nope, it is in Canada as well, but obviosly at a different time. In Canada it is the 2nd monday in October. The Canadian Thanksgiving is also a bit different. In the US (please correct me if I am wrong, I've never had a US thanksgiving) Thanksgiving is much bigger, it is sort of a beginning to the Christmas holidays.

The Canadian Thanksgiving was started by some british explorer in Newfoundland, before the Mayflower or other pilgrems were really here.

The Canadian Thanksgiving is earlier because our harvest is earlier because it gets colder sooner up here.

Elves in canada? if you don't mind my asking, why the HECK would they want to live here. Its a boring wasteland. And We've got a screwed up Liberal government to boot! ok, thats enough homeland bashing for now.

Oh boy there is patriotism for ya! Where do you live in Canada? I would hardly call it a boring wasteland. Where I live right now, all of the trees are changing colour and are very beautiful right now. In the summer there are 3 beaches within walking distance from my house. In the winter there are many different activities you can do, skiing, skiing... Canada has been called the best place in the world to live in. Most of the people have plenty of food, money, shelter. What is there not to like? We have a lot to be thankful for.
