The event that Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621. This feast lasted three days, and—as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow—it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims.

The first European Thanksgiving celebration in North America took place in Newfoundland when English explorer Martin Frobisher landed there in 1578 in his quest for the Northwest Passage. ... In 1957, the second Monday of October was set as the consistent date for Thanksgiving Day in Canada.

It just took us a little while to make a constant date for it. 😉

According to history it Appears Canada had Thanksgiving Day first! 😉

The first Thanksgiving here (in the U.S.) was a Pilgrim harvest festival to thank God, not the Indians.

And my ancestors were still in Europe at the time. The Pilgrims were more likely your ancestors.

So what are some of the Thanksgiving Day traditions in Canada.

I'm fairly certain that you're not being encouraged to eat a huge meal of turkey meat and then to go sleep it off in your local, neighborhood Wal-Mart parking lot. ("Black Friday" - some suckers are so stupid!)

You didn't touch any facts either. Hypocrisy in early New England was a hallmark of the British invaders.

The natives did a much better job of looking after the Pilgrims than any god!
