Thanksgiving 2007

The Canadian Thanksgiving is celebrated the second Monday of October. The timing is a direct reflection of our shorter growing season, hence an earlier harvest. Unlike the American Thanksgiving that focuses on pilgrims, the Canadian Thanksgiving focuses on a successful harvest. The Thanksgiving table is set with the bounties of the harvest such as squash, potatoes, pumpkins and apples. The table virtually becomes a groaning board with the weight of the food.

Happy Thanksgiving!
