Thanksgiving is in October in Canada, so Christmas is the next big thing up there. We still have Thanksgiving at the end of November, so for sane people it’s too early to start thinking about Christmas.

 

Of course, Christmas shopping could or should be well underway, unless you are either a procrastinator, or can only make decisions under pressure, or just like the thrill of the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping.

No, that is national beer and butter tart month.  Though with the new pot laws they may be celebrating Christmas every month.

They also celebrate New Years Day in September.

We may joke about it BUT having Thanksgiving in October makes a lot of sense.  Think of all the travel issues we would avoid if the holiday was far away from the end of November?

 

It's important to give Thanks, but it could be done at an earlier date.

Don't they (Canadians) celebrate:  "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Day" coming up on November 10th first!

In all seriousness, we do have remembrance day here on November 11th that is held as a serious day that banks and some government get as paid holidays. They are trying to make it a paid holiday for everyone. I'm surprised the nation that holds service and military in much higher regard doesnt have the same, I guess people would be afraid of the 11th or 12th being a national day of kneeling?

 

As for Christmas, growing up my family always said Christmas started after your Thanksgiving. Trees, because we had real ones, didnt go up til a week or so before, and came down once the Ukranian Christmas was over in January.

 

I came home last night to a Christmas tree up with lights on. My wife and her family celebrate the start of Christmas on November 1st, then have the trees being taken down December 26th.

 

I dont like Christmas..........

Humbug!

 

That is what I saw to Christmas in November.   

My wife fell asleep on such a movie in bed and when I went to turn off TV she said she wanted to finish it.
