Due to the fact that my husband is Canadian and I am American, we celebrate both

Thankgiving is held the 2nd Monday in October. Pretty much the end of the harvest. We have the big old dinner and everything!

Same as the US one. Except they don't have the 2 football games and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade!

Sorry, slight hijack...

I think I'm from one of the only families that never served mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving! I cannot imagine adding that to the menu!

/hijack over!

We don't have mashed potatoes with our dinner. We don't have yams either (and certainly not with marshmellows...no offense but what's that about?)

Our traditional dinner usually includes:

Turkey
Roast Potatoes
Carrots
Green Beans
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Brussle Sprouts (most times all my mum is the only one who eats them)
Cranberry Sauce
Gravy
Stuffing
And a Finnish dish (which I can't spell...so I won't try). It's basically a carrot and turnip caserole...trust me it excellent.

For dessert we usually have:
Pumpkin Pie
and another tradition Finnish dish (again can't spell it), but it's basically a Cranberry mousse. It contains Semolina, cranberries, sugar and milk and it's all whipped up and served with whipped cream. Yummm!

That sounds like a wonderful feast. Happy Thanksgiving, neighbors.

LOL - I thought you meant Sukkoth or the Feast of Tabernacles!



Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends AND our Jewish friends!
