Canadian Thanksgiving and Columbus Day.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian members!
Also, Happy Columbus Day for those of us in the US. However, I
do rather suspect that, in the next few years, the holiday will
be renamed something like Italian Heritage Day and that wouldn’t
be a bad thing.

In many states, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.
In Colorado, Columbus Day is not a state holiday. Instead, the
first Monday of October is Cabrini Day, which honors Frances
Xavier Cabrini, a woman responsible for creating 67 schools,
hospitals, and orphanages in the United States and South and
Central America throughout her lifetime.
Edited to add: Happy Thanksgiving, Canadian friends!

Thank you! A true Canadian Thanksgiving for me, as all the
vegetables came from my garden, with all but the squash
harvested today. Washed and into the cooking pot and on the
table within about 2 hours.
(Canadian Thanksgiving is more of a harvest festival, though
there is some trickle down from the US traditions.)
And extra thankful this year as DH and I found out that we're
going to be grandparents next year. Please send sticky baby
vibes. sDD had a miscarriage this time last year and she isn't
very far along but wanted to tell everyone; she hated having to
tell us all that she'd had a miscarriage before she got to tell
us she was pregnant. She was very adamant, though, that no one
buy anything for the baby until she is out of the first
trimester. Which she will be, before Christmas.
