Five of the seven workers, one boss, and two spouses went to my buddy’s place for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a good time, and although many of us are hundreds or thousands of kilometres from our families, it still felt like home. But now it means I have to host Christmas.

The only fight was that none of us knew how to carve a turkey, so we had to figure out who was going to do it.

Today I learned that Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving, and that they do it in October.
Thanksgiving, related to the harvest, is a fall celebration, so it makes sense that Canadains, being further North, would celebrate it earlier.

We always just have a chicken for Thanksgiving as it’s just my mother, brother and I and we haven’t had a huge family gathering since I was a kid. :)

When ever I’m with my wife’s family I carve the turkey. I assisted one year and have been perma-drafted into the position now. I used to help my dad when I was a kid so no biggie; and yeah, just a big chicken really.
If we go to my sister’s place, her husband does it. I help him get the bird out of the pan, get the stuffing out, and then get to relax.
When I carve I tend to swipe the best morsels for myself and/or wh o ever cooked it. And I never shoo away grabby hands, hot bird is best bird.

Yup, we’re buried under 10 feet of snow by the time the American Thanksgiving comes along. We only have maybe 2 weeks before we need to hibernate for the next 8 months.
