So this weekend is Thanksgiving for those of us in Canada (I know you guys in the U.S. celebrate it in November), and I was just wondering who else was celebrating it? Or, if there's a time you celebrate Thanksgiving OTHER than sometime in October or November? Share your Thanksgiving stories here too! I have quite a few myself x3 For example... last year, I was talking to someone online who I believe was from the States. Must have been really naive, too. There's this like... muffin/cookie type treat and the snack is called "Bear Paws" because its in the shape of a bear's paw. But it's not a REAL bear paw. Obviously. Well, the girl knew I had thanksgiving that weekend, and I told her I was eating a bear paw, and real serious-like, she said, "Oh, is that what Canadians eat for thanksgiving?" NO WORD OF A LIE, I kid you not. I, equally serious, responded with a yes XD I don't remember who she was, just that we never spoke again. I wonder if she still thinks I was serious... |

I would die without being able to celebrate it! An excuse to have apple pie and turkey?! hehehehe. Another funny story I guess would be when my mom was doing the dressing/stuffing. Early that morning her and my brother were up talking and my mom was doing that. There was an "incident" where she had this giant container of pepper that she was sprinkling into the dressing, but the lid wasn't attached right, and this HUGE container spilled more than half of the pepper into the dressing. She tried to get most of it out but obviously not ALL of it. So later when we're having our dinner, my dad and his friend Steve are noticing it's really, REALLY feeling hot. They thought it was because they were drinking a Caesar, you know, Clamato juice or whatever with vodka I think? And because it was like the spicy clamato. Well, my mom and brother start laughing, and we have no idea why, and then they explained about that. This year my dad and I get to start cooking things since my mom has to work this weekend (but comes back later on Monday when we're having our dinner.) I'm sure I'll have something entertaining to share then :| |

Ah, sounds like loads of fun. We (my family, anyway) kinda have a big family cook-up meal at New Year's, but here's it's really often boiling so we can't eat much, anyway... But it feeds us for about a week.

Ahhh really? I'd hate for it to be cold around New Years time! Here we'd have loads of snow by that point so it'd be cool. We make a ham for New Year's but it's not a huge dinner or anything. That's one thing I hate about the holidays: The leftovers. I mean, on one hand, it's good, because you can heat some up whenever you want. But you get sooo sick of it. Our dinner was just on Monday and I'm already sick of turkey, just finished off a bunch of it now >.> |

Hmm, I guess so... But that's why you only ever eat particular foods for certain holidays, and I guess it helps if it's something you CAN eat a lot of without getting sick of it... And you can always give leftover to the relatives. |

Very true, we only have turkey at Christmas and Thanksgiving. I'd hate to have the US thanksgiving in November in that case - turkey would be too close together x3 We gave some leftovers to my dads friend and his wife that were over, she's from the Phillipines so she was watching my mom cook (my dad and I only had to do the dressing, thank God xD )to learn how to prepare it since I guess they don't eat turkey over there. (Or any white meat, if I recall correctly, though I wasn't really the one she was talking to when she said that so it might not be accurate /at all/ hahahaha.) |
