Why does it mention the birthday on one board but not on this one?

Maybe he didn't enter it on this board. Besides, he said his birthday is tomorrow actually.

Damn Canadians and their holidays.

Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey :D

Maybe I'll even get wasted.

Too bad it's all downhill after 30 ;)

Happy birthday... I got substantial damage done on the banner. It'll be done by tomorrow... so check back on the site!

I'll join you.

Thank God.

I probably will too, I'm 17, but it's Homecoming weekend, and nothings stopping me.

Cool, just in time to start working on the next one. ;)

Canadian Thanksgiving?

What happened? Did the French have a fiest of polar bears, penguins, and maple syrup with the Eskimos or what?

Ok, I had to look it up...

History and Origin of Canadian Thanksgiving

In Canada Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October. Unlike the American tradition of remembering Pilgrims and settling in the New World, Canadians give thanks for a successful harvest. The harvest season falls earlier in Canada compared to the United States due to the simple fact that Canada is further north.

The history of Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an English explorer, Martin Frobisher, who had been trying to find a northern passage to the Orient. He did not succeed but he did establish a settlement in Northern America. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now called Newfoundland, to give thanks for surviving the long journey. This is considered the first Canadian Thanksgiving. Other settlers arrived and continued these ceremonies. He was later knighted and had an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in northern Canada named after him - Frobisher Bay.

At the same time, French settlers, having crossed the ocean and arrived in Canada with explorer Samuel de Champlain, also held huge feasts of thanks. They even formed 'The Order of Good Cheer' and gladly shared their food with their Indian neighbours.

After the Seven Year's War ended in 1763, the citizens of Halifax held a special day of Thanksgiving.

During the American Revolution, Americans who remained loyal to England moved to Canada where they brought the customs and practices of the American Thanksgiving to Canada. There are many similarities between the two Thanksgivings such as the cornucopia and the pumpkin pie.

Eventually in 1879, Parliament declared November 6th a day of Thanksgiving and a national holiday. Over the years many dates were used for Thanksgiving, the most popular was the 3rd Monday in October. After World War I, both Armistice Day and Thanksgiving were celebrated on the Monday of the week in which November 11th occurred. Ten years later, in 1931, the two days became separate holidays and Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day.

Finally, on January 31st, 1957, Parliament proclaimed...

"A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed ... to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October.



After reading that, I sort of remember hearing about it a long time ago in high school or middle school.

He can just use the old Seattle one. No worries.

BTW, happy official birthday. ;)

I couldn't find you online yesterday so I suppose this will have to do for now. Once again we drink and dance around the fire naked until we fall down then we get up and drink some more! Enjoy your combo birthday and turkey! Soon we must head up to the great white slightly further north to celebrate um... stuff... Yaaaa! I will enjoy a shot or three of Mr. Cuervo in your honour. Happy you're still older than me Day!
