Happy Canadian Thanksgiving weekend

I’m a firm believer in gratitude — being grateful for the
people in my life, 
and for what life has given me. That’s
why I love Canadian Thanksgiving, 
a celebration that happens
this weekend. 

Canadian Thanksgiving is a celebration of the harvest.
We give thanks for a great harvest, for our unusually
blessed lifestyle, and in honour of that, eat a meal
together. It is not about religion, or history, or which
culture you grew up in.  And that's what I love about it.
Everyone can share in the harvest.  Everyone can get in
the spirit together, 
and we all understand the meaning of
the holiday.

Judging from the run on turkeys, that part of the meal may
be the same in 
many homes. 

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!
