Yeah, so I got the turkey, bought the cranberry sauce, getting the vegetables later today, gonna go to itaewon and see if I can get some Jello for a jello salad, and costco makes a nice pumpkin pie.
Are any other Canucks gonna celebrate the holiday this weekend? Or is there nothng to be Thankful for over here?
I myself am thankful that the Canadian Dollar has not tanked against the won like the American won has. |

Thankful that the Canadian dollar has not tanked against the won? It's pretty bad. I just spent 1,060,000 to send home $800.
I would love to have a nice Thanksgiving dinner, but I'm not much of a cook. My aunt makes the most amazing sweet potato dish with walnuts and brown sugar. Oh I would kill for that and some turkey and gravy right now! |

| I have been away from Canada for 17 years and have always forget about this day. What makes it worse is people in other countries all know about the American one. |

| My fellow Canadian co-workers and I are making a Thanksgiving dinner sometime this week! We'll see what we can find, but we just want to celebrate it and make a big meal. I like Thanksgiving. |

| The only reason I knew about it is because it's my birthday. I bought an oven on the weekend, so we will have a roast something or other next weekend. Any excuse for a good feed. |

Bahahhaha. Just got back from Niagara falls with the GF. We both dropped $20 in the nickel slots at the casino. She hit a $1,500 jackpot.
A good white trash weekend. |

I gave up on Thanksgiving when I first married as well. Now that we have kids, they like turkey and mashed, so I get to celebrate Thanksgiving again. But not here...no oven 
Thanksgiving is much better with piles of people, anyhow. 4 people and a huge turkey is just sad. |

I suggested we just play $20 and walk out when our money ran out and she was like "oh I'll just watch you" but I talked her into coughing up $20 of her own. |
