Thanksgiving Canadian style
Did you know it is Thanksgiving Day in Canada? Thanksgiving (or in French: Action de grâce) or Thanksgiving Day, is an annual Canadian holiday and harvest festival, held on the second Monday in October, which celebrates the harvest and other blessings of the past year.
Thanksgiving has been officially celebrated as an annual holiday in Canada since November 6, 1879. While the actual Thanksgiving holiday is on a Monday, Canadians gather for a Thanksgiving feast. Foods traditionally served at Thanksgiving include roasted turkey, roast beef, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, sweet corn, various autumn vegetables.
