We do celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada (and we have much to be thankful for) but we don't celebrate on the same day as the US does. Thanksgiving in Canada is in October, instead of November.
Likely the reason for that is that Thanksgiving used to be tied to harvesting, and as the weather gets colder earlier in Canada, the harvest was brought in earlier, and the thanksgiving festival was also earlier.
Whatever the reason, it's a lovely time of year and in Canada, it often falls in what we call Indian Summer -- those last, lovely warm days before winter sets in.

Thanksgiving is a harvest pageant that occurs in all cultures and backgrounds. that's a attractiveness given to the pageant in the U. S.. Wiccans are the main deserving to have a good time because their faith is in the land and nature. An athiest can thank Archer-Daniels-Midland or Del Monte or a dairy cooperative for bringing food to the human beings. The Aztecs had harvest gala's for hundreds of years, and that's in the Asian cultures from in the previous the time of JC. in case you go with for to thank a deity, that's your perfect to realize this. i'm an agnostic now no longer denying nor believing in any faith or any prepared team. in case you're no longer in the u . s ., and thinking that's 1AM right here PST, how are you celebrating the pilgrams and local individuals first ceremonial dinner of their harvest? you are able to decide for in spite of "maximum suitable answer" you like, yet that's the right one.

2nd Monday in October. It's not at all the deal it is in the US though (as I learned, for example, when I got a call asking why I hadn't shown up for work that day).
My mom always does a turkey.
