Thanks for Thanksgiving

Did you know that the Canadian and American Thanksgiving holidays have very separate histories? Or that the original Canadian Thanksgiving meal consisted of venison and fish and not turkey?  Turkeys were traditionally kept as guard animals before the Europeans arrived in North America!  These are just a few of the fun facts we have discovered learning all about the history of Thanksgiving.  

Of course, we have also been reflecting upon all that we have to be thankful for.  We have been discussing what we "need" versus want we "want" and reading about children who have very little.  Not everyone is as fortunate as we are.  We sure have much to be thankful for!
