Yep! Today is Canada's Thanksgiving day. 1578 appears to be one of the many feasts of thanks (Newfoundland) with credit given to English explorer Martin Frobisher who was looking for a northern passage to the Orient. He celebrated on different occasions depending on which voyage so locations also vary, slightly. Later, in 1604, there was Samuel de Champlain who formed a dinner club called the Order Of Good Cheer (in Nova Scotia) which was simply a gathering of like minded folk who loved to party with food and gave thanks for their fortunes. In 1621 the Pilgrims (Massachusetts) did a similar event leading to America's Thanksgiving. It should be noted, however, many feasts and celebrations occurred in The New World (such as in Virginia 1607). Today, while we do not need a holiday to gather with friends and family, it is great to celebrate Thanksgiving in one's own special way.

So, Happy Thanksgiving all. :D

Happy Thanksgiving to all the other Canadians out there.
Had some family time this weekend, and it was good.

Thanks, for the Thanksgiving wishes everybody, and Happy Thanksgiving for those Canucks in foreign territory including the USA, and to our troops. I'm sure our troops somewhere are sharing turkey and good will to other troops and elsewhere.

To all the troops,whatever the nationality, we are thankful for those who are on guard for us. Keep safe.

I just had a Thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat and now I think I'm gonna take out the trash. Don't worry, I made sure there's no envelope in there with my name on it.

:wink:

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
