October 12, 20159 yr comment_478947 Thanks! What do you get when you put a 28 lb turkey and 20 hungry friends and relatives together? Nothing but enough scraps to make a pot of soup out of.... What am I supposed to eat for lunch for the rest of the week now?.. Good thing I love my friends and relatives.

October 12, 20159 yr comment_478961 Happy Thanksgiving! Obviously, I'm familiar with the USA version of Thanksgiving, but I know nothing of the traditions and history of Canadian Thanksgiving. For my benefit and in an effort to raise the cultural awareness of your Datsun owning neighbors living south of the border, fill us in on how Thanksgiving came to be in Canada.Dennis Edited October 12, 20159 yr by psdenno Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/52579-thanksgiving-day-canada/#findComment-478961 Share on other sites More sharing options...

October 13, 20159 yr comment_479002 I think it goes back to 1606 here in New Scotland... early French settlers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Good_Cheer This was ~ 14 years before the Mayflower sailed. Yes we all wear tights and carry batons on Thanksgiving And yes that is Santa Claus with the ham.

October 13, 20159 yr comment_479027 I'll let our friends at wiki-impedia explain Canadian Thanksgiving. Not too surprising.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(Canada) Interesting reading. Especially the part about how during and after the American Revolution, American refugees who remained loyal to Great Britain moved from the newly independent United States to Canada. They brought the customs and practices of the American Thanksgiving to Canada, such as the turkey, pumpkin, squash, but no tights.Dennis Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/52579-thanksgiving-day-canada/#findComment-479027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
