It has definitely snuck up on us this year! I'm looking forward to it, although we have no plans and Marco is on-call Thanksgiving day.

Here's a little info for ya' Karen...

The Canadian Thanksgiving Day came about because of a combination of traditions. Before the first Europeans arrived in North America, the farmers in Europe held celebrations at harvest time. The farm workers filled a curved goat's horn with fruit and grain to give thanks for their harvest having been a good one. This horn was called a Horn of Plenty.....or a Cornucopia, and the farm workers who started a new life in Canada took this tradition with them.
