Yeah, I\u2019m sure that\u2019s exactly how it unfolded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, Canada used to celebrate Thanksgiving in November. So what made Canada lose its mind and start celebrating this holiday in October? Well, the clip video below will give you a great overview as to the origins of Canadian Thanksgiving (hint : when the Americans started Thanksgiving they didn\u2019t want to get left behind\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why We Celebrate Thanksgiving Day In October\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C_5Tmbv2KSI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_Do_Canadians_Think_of_American_Thanksgiving\"><\/span>And What Do Canadians Think of American Thanksgiving?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay so now we know that America\u2019s neighbor to the north, Canada, celebrates this same holiday in a different month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So then what do Canadians think of American Thanksgiving? Well the video clip below sums it all up in one word\u2026 (Tongue-in-cheek of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=oFs2PfUG9p0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thanksgiving_Party_Planning_Ideas\"><\/span>Thanksgiving Party Planning Ideas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And for those of you celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend, Kraft Canada has&nbsp;an excellent webpage&nbsp;devoted to the holiday.
