    In Canada we have Thanksgiving on a Monday and get to eat meat for the next three days.  That's way better than your one day indult.  :jester:
    Ha.  I think it was always a Thursday here (although I'm not sure). They should have just made it a Monday like you guys since that is when most Federal holidays occur anyway.

    Moving Thanksgiving to a Monday is a good idea but please make getting rid of Daylight Savings Time the top priority.  We are waiting for you guys to do it first.

    • Here's a short history of the modern American Thanksgiving Day. Skip to about 7:30, unless you're interested in the cranberry-apple tart recipe.

    Thanksgiving Day has always been on a Thursday in the U.S.  Prior to 1941, Thanksgiving was the last Thursday of November but was moved to the fourth Thursday of November by FDR.

    AND...it should remain on Thursday because that is the tradition in the United States.  

    Personally, I would support changing all federal holidays back to the traditional dates regardless of when they fall during the week.  In fact, the U.S. should adopt a few more holidays and everyone should know that if it happens to fall on a "non work day" (for most people outside the retail and restaurant industry) they just don't get an extra day off that holiday.

    I have no knowledge of his sɛҳuąƖ proclivities, but I do like some of his recipes and appreciate some of his unique historical research. So far I have found his episodes on garum and black mead to be my favorites, though I've never tried making either.

    I'm not particularly attached to that tradition. I'd be good with a specific date for it as well.

    I think the Lord's day may be the most appropriate Thanksgiving. Free to eat anything and family can go to Mass together.
