It's Almost Turkey Day! Gooble Gooble!
When the days start getting shorter and the leaves are all turning colours, Halloween is slowly approaching as is Thanksgiving, at least it is in Canada any way. The second Monday of October is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. The day you should be remembering all the good things in your life, the day when you get together with family and/or friends who mean a lot to you.
History of Thanksgiving
both a Canadian and American Tradition
The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida[1][2], the traditional "first Thanksgiving" is venerated as having occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621.
(Thanksgiving is October 11, 2010)

My table never looks this good
There's More to the Fall then just Halloween
and the changing of the trees
T
he Fall can be a very romantic time for some people and thanks to Redbook here's a few ways that the adults can have a little fun all by themself, whether it be a little pre-holiday fun or a little stress relief after the holiday. Just a little fun filled stress-free time to be alone 11 Ways to Have A Fun and Frisky Fall, but without the kids!!
Along with the romance comes Thanksgiving, Halloween and yes football season, not that I actually watch any football myself. Not that there's anything wrong with watching grown men running around in those nice tight pants of theirs! :)
We don't really have any traditions or special little knick knacks that make the day much different then any other one. But we enjoy being together, having some laughs and making some new memories for our children to pass along when we're no longere here.
Dressing isn't just for the turkey!
no matter what the holiday is, you can always find something to wear

MMMMMMMM Golden Brown Turkey

Well I don't know about you but having my turkey sitting in the grease cooking just isn't very appetizing. And in this, the turkey doesn't sit right in the water and grease on the bottom of the pan.
If there isn't any football game
then there's plenty of good football movies that are worth it.
HAPPY TURKEY DAY TO EVERYONE
Whether it be the second Monday in October for my fellow Canadians or the fourth Thursday in November for my American friends. Hope your day is filled with lots of family, friends, laughter, fun and tons of turkey!!!!
