We're going to put sweet potatoes on the menu... because you can't find sweet potatoes anywhere else, have you noticed that?

Answer 2

What do you mean the REAL Thanksgiving? Are you kidding? Thanksgiving is an individual holiday per country, some have it, some don't. Just because America's is in November doesn't mean other country's are! The world is a very large place, my friend. Step out of your box. That is like asking why Mexican Independence Day isn't celebrated on the 4th of July?

Dear Heart: Mexico does, I assure you, celebrate Independence Day. You really need to go to school.


The Mexican Independence Day is a major holiday in Mexico, the celebration begins every September 15th at 11 pm in every single city and town in Mexico. In Mexico City, the President, following the ritual, rings the historic liberty bell that Father Hidalgo rang to call the people. Then gives the "El Grito" (The Cry). He shouts "Mexicanos, Viva Mexico" and the crowd echos back, establishing the tradition which has been solemnly followed every year thereafter. And it is echoed by the governor of each state throughout the country. The Cry may include other acclamations, such as the one included by President Benito Juarez to honor all those who sacrificed to make Mexico free: "Long live the Heroes of our Independence!". No one really knows what Hidalgo actually told the people. Many respected historians believe he said, "¡Viva the Virgin of Guadalupe!" "Death to bad government.!" "Death to the gachupines!" (Gachupines is a derisive term for Spaniards.) Because the term "Mexico" at the time meant Mexico City, Hidalgo probably did not say "¡Viva Mexico!

Answer 3

The Canadian Thanksgiving is REAL. It is celebrated in Canada, the U.S. Thanksgiving is REAL, it is celebrated in the U.S. Canada and the U.S. are not the same country...they are on the same continent but not the same country. Just because their Thanksgiving doesn't coinside with the Thanksgiving celebrated in the U.S. doesn't mean it isn't "real". The U.S. is the only country that actually celebrates OUR Thanksgiving.
