I hear that they have a Magical background involving Frenchmen and Furs and . . . other . . . things. . . .

And so in celebration, they all gather around the Television and watch Bambi!

In Canada we have Thanksgiving to celebrate a successful harvest, which is why it is held in October. Autumn is the harvest season.

Taken from a website (may or may not be reliable)

The history of Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an English explorer, Martin Frobisher, who had been trying to find a northern passage to the Orient. He did not succeed but he did establish a settlement in Northern America. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now called Newfoundland, to give thanks for surviving the long journey. This is considered the first Canadian Thanksgiving. Other settlers arrived and continued these ceremonies. He was later knighted and had an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in northern Canada named after him - Frobisher Bay.

At the same time, French settlers, having crossed the ocean and arrived in Canada with explorer Samuel de Champlain, also held huge feasts of thanks. They even formed 'The Order of Good Cheer' and gladly shared their food with their Indian neighbours.

I DO agree with celebrating a bountiful harvest....not so much on lying to, killing, betraying and segregating Native Americans.
