Here is a ? Why does the US and Canada celebrate Thanksgiving on differnt days... I am thinking it is due to the Harvest times for each country

Our Thanksgiving was based on European Harvest Feasts/Celebrations and brought to Canada by Explorer Martin Frobisher who was thankful to have made it to Newfoundland alive......

Copied this tidbit from a web source, this will surprise a few of y'all he he

" Americans did not invent Thanksgiving. It began in Canada. Frobisher's celebration in 1578 was 43 years before the pilgrims gave thanks in 1621 for the bounty that ended a year of hardships and death. Abraham Lincoln established the date for the US as the last Thursday in November. In 1941, US Congress set the National Holiday as the fourth Thursday in November.

Frobisher and early colonists, giving thanks for safe passage, as well as pilgrim celebrations in the US that began the traditions of turkeys, pumpkin pies, and the gathering of family and friends.
