Happy Thanksgiving!

I know the history of our USA Thanksgiving. . . . I've never heard the Canadian Thanksgiving history. Our northern friends, would you care to enlighten us? TIA

It's basically the same celebration as in America, according to DH, but we don't know why it is earlier. My DH grew up in BC and says they're just trying to beat the snow. HA! HA! Actually, I think it's smart...because cooking a humonguous dinner in November and again in December is just nuts. IMO

I wasn't aware of this Thanksgiving --- wishing a very happy one to all of you who are celebrating.

Funny, in America didn't Abraham Lincoln start Thanksgiving?? I didn't think anybody outside the USA celebrated this holiday. Ours is not until November. That is when to do some CRAZY shopping starts.
