Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends and their families and critters! Hope, in the spirit of the holiday, the furry ones will also partake in the grand repast! What are the origins of your holiday? What foods are traditional?? I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who proclaimed the last Thurs. in Nov. be set aside for "giving thanks" in the U.S...can't remember the year...1865??

Cataholic..."Crancrap???" ROTFLOL!! The pilgrims are twirling in their graves! (I know, they didn't eat "crancrap!")

I live in the home of the original Thanksgiving! Actually it's Plymouth, MA, just a bit away, but the Pilgrims DID land on Cape Cod first!! lol! Here's it's a major, major deal! Some years we celebrate by attending an "original feast," put on at Plimoth Plantation, the first home of the Pilgirms! No stuffing or string bean casserole though...not authentic
