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.

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.

I'll let our friends at wiki-impedia explain Canadian Thanksgiving. Not too surprising.

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.
