How do Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving?

Umm yeah we celebrate (New_Single_1's) and it isn't "just" an American holiday =) This year it is on October 9th, however most of the time we have our dinner on the Sunday not the Holiday Monday. (Unless like me you have 2 HUGE families, in which case like christmas we have about 4 dinners to attend) Turkey or ham (Or both in most cases) & Gravy Potatoes Stuffing Sweet Potatoes Squash Turnip Corn/ Green Beans/ Brocolli/Cauliflower (whatever) Rolls Salad (Leaf, Ceaser whatever) And Pumpkin Pie for dessert =) We spend the day being thankful for what we have and usually spend the day with family. Best of luck - Have a happy Thanksgiving!!!

I'm from America and it sounds pretty much the same, just earlier. But seeing as it is your first Thanksgiving, you can pretty much take advice from Canadians as well as Americans. It's just food, family, parades and sports, among many other things... and acknowledgment of things for which you are thankful. Enjoy.

Our Canadian Thanksgiving is the same as the American Thanksgiving, just earlier :) It's the perfect day to really think about what we're thankful for! The turkey and/or ham, mashed potatoes and all the other good stuff is so YUMMY :)

This is not an answer, but a comment. I've noticed "Canadian Thanksgiving" noted on calendars, and wondered if it was like Thanksgiving in the U.S. Apparently, the food is mostly the same, although I don't see anyone mentioning spending the day in front of TV, watching parades and football. Or do Canadians watch hockey on Thanksgiving?

by going to detroit and buying a turkey because they are cheaper

Getting wasted!!!!!!!!

Why would Canadians even celebrate Thanksgiving? It's an American holiday . . . I didn't think it was celebrated anywhere else
