Posted on December 2, 2019 by

Posted on October 25, 2019 by

Thanksgiving

Posted on October 15, 2019 by

Blogging about Thanksgiving can be a bit hard. I’ve written posts about being thankful.  I’ve written posts about why Canadians celebrate in October rather than November–we want to avoid turkey induced comas two months in a row.  I am sure … Continue reading →

Why Canadians Celebrate Thanksgiving in October

Posted on October 8, 2018 by

Honestly, I don’t’ know. I always believed that it was because it got colder here sooner, so the harvest happened earlier and therefore Thanksgiving started earlier. It sounds logical, and might in fact be true.  However, there might be more … Continue reading →
