THANKSGIVING DAY

What's the origin of this day?



The native peoples of the Americas held ceremonies and festivals to celebrate the completion and bounty of the harvest long before European explorers and settlers arrived in what is now Canada.

People share the harvest with all of the village, and it doesn't matter if they are of different races. 
It was a happy day for everyone!

Nowadays, many people have a day off work on the second Monday of October. They often use the three-day Thanksgiving weekend to visit family or friends who live far away, or to receive them in their own homes. 

And the better is... the schools are closed! :)
