Last weekend was a long weekend, with Monday off as it was Thanksgiving in Canada. All a bit early I hear you mutter, thinking of the US Thanksgiving which is celebrated just a week or so before Christmas, but here it's in October. In Canada, Thanksgiving is like a big Harvest Festival, where family and friends come together to celebrate and give thanks.....and eat loads of turkey!
Being as our families are all many thousands of miles away, we decided to club together with my friends Debbie and Kat, and their families, and celebrate together in a 'pot luck, but not so random' sort of way. We each took responsibility for part of the feast, and everyone came over for an afternoon and evening of eating, drinking and general silliness. Everyone had a great time, and we're going to continue the tradition with future festivals as they come up, as we all had so much fun together.
