Happy Thanksgiving!

Well here we are on our first Thanksgiving public holiday. Thanksgiving was actually yesterday & we were invited to a meal at Christina's cousin's house for an orphans Thankgiving of sorts. It was really cool, we got to experience proper canadian style festivities. Met loads of fun people and had a great time, we even did it all whilst keeping off the alcohol?! Go figure! No real reason, just felt like being a little healthy I guess.
So in talking to people, they seem to have a very specific reason for celebrating, as opposed to the US I think, although I may be wrong. It differs a little between people but mainly comes down to giving thanks for the harvest that should've just been cut from the fields & put away for the winter months. I don't know where turkey ever came in to it & nor did they.. But hey, all good! Followed by pumpkin, rhubard & apple pies, plus apple crumble - no one was complaining! YUMMY
