Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody!!! I have always loved Thanksgiving. I like it because it is a great reason to spend time with your family and visit and inquire about how their years have gone! My Thanksgiving was great! My grandparents came and visited and my aunt and uncle and their kids came out and had supper with us (a few times :P). Last night we had a wonderful turkey dinner, and two very delicious pies (that I made :P). I have often wondered what Thanksgiving is really about? In elementary school you learn that you have to be thankful, and that you eat turkey and pumpkin pie, etc. Well I decided to look it up!

  On January 31, 1957, Canadian Parliament announced "A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed – to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October."

Thanksgiving, in Canada, is the celebration of a good harvest and other things during the year.  It was brought over from Europe as the Oktoberfest. A celebration involving singing hymns and reading verses from the bible that relate to the Jewish holiday Sukkot. (click to read what it is) Now it is seen as a day where people get together with friends and family to give thanks for the food they were able to buy and to give thanks for being safe and alive. It is also seen as a weekend to get away.

    This has nothing to do with Thanksgiving but, last night my granny and I were looking at her pictures on her camera and she is about o turn it off when she says "Oh! Wanna see my studmuffin?" I looked at her and just started laughing and laughing! My granny said studmuffin! xD It was a picture of my grandpa in bright orange swim trunks, grey dress socks and her big sunglasses haha!! It was so funny!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
