Ah...Thanksgiving!
I grew up in Canada and Canadian Thanksgiving was celebrated in October (OK-no more Canadian jokes).
No turkey, no pilgrims,to us it was another day off from school.And it always seemed to correspond to Sukkot and we always felt ripped off if Thanksgiving fell on Sukkot or vice versa since the 2 days off from school became 1.
What a difference when we moved to the States in the mid 80's.
Thanksgiving truly is a MAJOR holiday for everyone and it is indeed one that took no getting used to.
Lets all enjoy a restful peaceful holiday with family and friends before the hectic December holiday period begins.
