Opps, I thought she was from the States. My apologies Lisa :(

The Holiday belongs to the Americans....but the Sentiment belongs to the World.......just m.o.

Sorry to burst your bubble Rambo but thanksgiving was actually started by the first founders of America, the Vikings, on the rock (sorry NOT Plymouth rock but actually Newfoundland). Erik the beautiful and his crew of savage manly men were shipwrecked on the western shore of Newfoundland and with winter coming on were destined to a slow lingering death, when an aborigine fishing party of warlike newfies found their encampment. Upon seeing the fair Eric they nursed him and his band to health with liberal portions of cod livers and a native medicine called screech. There are still descendants of Newfies living in Newfoundland today. Canadians celebrate this original Thanksgiving in October when copious amounts of cod liver and screech are consumed. The Americans borrowed and embellished this story and moved the holiday to November to coincide with their primary holiday called Black Friday. I always enjoy educating our great neighbour to the south and take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful American Thanksgiving. However..... though we will give you credit for your Thanksgiving, you may never take credit for Lisa. She was born and bred in Canada and this honour we will never concede! And yes..honor should be spelled "honour"

Lol!

Well I will now add one more thing to my list of things to be thankful for.....Not having to eat cod liver tomorrow!!
Hahahahaha

I singled out the Americans as well, but only because we Canucks celebrate our Thanksgiving in October :) I for one am so thankful that we are able to travel and get to experience Jamaica! So many people don't have that opportunity!

Is that what they taught you in school? Black Friday is a retail holiday. LOL

Thanks Booger. Just jerkin your turkey. Enjoy your cod livers and football and have a wonderful thanksgiving.

Dash, don't forget the Newfie "screech in" ceremony that must be recited before enjoying your cod livers and screech...
Newbie Newfies must don their rain slicker, kiss a cod on the lips, and when asked the question "Are ye a screecher?" They must answer "Deed I is me old cock, and long may your big jib draw!"
Happy Thanksgiving everybody ! :-)
