Thanksgiving, as we know it in the United States and Canada, is a holiday related to English traditions and the harvest festivals celebrated in many countries around the world. Canada celebrates the holiday in October and the USA on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time to be thankful for the abundance bestowed on each of us. A time to hop in a car or plane or simply walk to a neighbor’s house to enjoy getting together with family and friends and have a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
