I just have to ask, what is canadian thanksgiving about? The american's is celebrating a time when us English went over and raped the natives land. What is the candian one about?

we celebrate when we raped the americans

My fave thing is actually cranberry sauce,i love it.I will only eat it at Thanksgiving.

We usually have the same thing on Thanksgiving and Christmas. My grandparents make fantastic turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberries, and sweet tea. They make other things, but that's all I eat.

Pork for Thanksgiving and turkey for Christmas. Sweet potatoes and/or yams, dressing with either meat, pumpkin pie, steamed veggies of some sort, and a small pot of boiled chicken livers just for me to snack on.:)

But by far my favorite Thanksgiving thing is when I make a casserole out of my cat, Old Hootie. He crawls into the baking dish by himself and soaks himself and then tucks himself in under a layer of noodles. Then he passes out for a while. Then he crawls out of the casserole dish. In this way, Hootie is recycled and we can use him again that way next year. :)

EVERY Thanksgiving Dinner for us:

Turkey
Ham
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Potato salad
Sweet potatoes
Green beans with bacon
Cranberry sauce
Broccoli with cheese sauce
Macaroni and cheese
Yeast Rolls
2 kinds of stuffing - Stove Top and homemade giblet stuffing
Deviled eggs
Fresh vegetable plate with Ranch Dip - Baby carrots, broccoli, celery, green olives, black olvies, gerkins
Spinach dip with mini rye bread slices
Pumpkin Pie
Apple Pie
Cherry Pie
Sometimes Chocolate Silk Pie, but not every time.

Exact same things at Christmas and Easter, only without the turkey and cranberry sauce (Ham dominates during those holidays)


Dammit...Now I'm hungry

Holy shit, Rayne! Do you feed an army? :D

HaHa...It's my mother...Thanksgiving is her all-time favorite holiday, and it sometimes falls on her birthday, which makes her very happy :)

I've done it a couple times, but I make the same things she does, and she really prefers to do it at her place because cooking Thanksgiving dinner makes her happy.
