My family started having our Thanksgiving get together in October about 10 years ago. I didn't realize that's when Canada's was. I think I'll start telling everyone we celebrate Canada's Thanksgiving.
October around here is still warm enough to be outside and not all stuck in the house with a bunch of wound up kids. And we don't have to deal with 2 family dinners back to back.
Today it's the in-laws at our house. Gotta start the turkey fryer soon!
