That would be Canada, home of the creator of the eventual predecessor to this community

Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian members

My parents got married on this day as well. Somehow they're still together even though they're as different as day and fish sticks

For a second I thought that my clock was 2 hours slow, although I guess that somewhere in Canada it is Thanksgiving already

Happy Thanksgiving!

It'll be Thanksgiving in about 15 minutes in Newfoundland, but otherwise not yet

I guess there's people doing it today, but tomorrow is a day off too

Actually, Michigan schools don't seem to ever close for Columbus Day

They did in New Jersey and New York.

Well, Happy Thanksgiving for the Canadians!

Schools here are closed for Columbus Day tomorrow, so I get an extra day of free time.

We still have school here in Washington, I wasn't even aware that it was coming up until a Columbus day sale went on at a store.

I just went to the mall and half the stores were open.

It's a weird holiday in terms of store hours...

Yeah, it's a North American thing, Lunamon

I don't know much about Canadian Thanksgiving, but I know about the US Thanksgiving in late November. Basically, the early American settlers were thankful that the natives (often called "Indians" for some strange reason) gave them food and such, so they held a celebration. Then, the settlers went on to exterminate the native cultures. Some thanks they got

Ours is pretty much just to give thanks.

I think all the Thanksgiving-related cartoons were aired in the morning here... and we wouldn't be showing anything like The Mouse on the Mayflower.

(There's a dated reference.)

Yeah, nice peaceful Canadians

Believe me, I'd rather be one of you than a warmongering American

Maybe someday.

I spent my Thanksgiving doing homework.

I did get to enjoy my weekend home though, minus getting a chest cold.

It was a very balanced weekend between good and crappy.

Ohio State still has classes, and it's in Columbus. I always found that ironic.

That is ironic.

Though it doesn't feel like much free time for me, though.

Now that I think about it, I never new Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving at this time. I'm not really aware about Canadian holidays.
