Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

On the second Monday of October

we in Canada-- celebrate Thanksgiving Day

so happy holiday fellow 'Canucks'

as we eat and drink and give thanks

in celebration of the 'harvest';

Canada is more northern in the continent

so the harvest comes earlier here eh.

The history goes back as far as 1578

French and English explorers

celebrated just surviving the journey

from Europe to Canada.

And originally called the day;

The 'Order of Good Cheer'

Turkey, Pumpkin Pie and most

'traditions' associated with

American Thanksgiving are upheld

in Canadian Thanksgiving as well; 

overeating long naps and obnoxious 

relatives; no names mentioned here

So with glasses raised

(Madjack hard apple cider for me)

...to one and all

we celebrate tomorrow; today for me;

long story....

And yes, we celebrate friends peace

and all the freedoms we enjoy

Giving thanks always to Almighty God.

Happy Thanksgiving Canada!

Cheers!
