Thanksgiving Day

Today, the second Monday in October, is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. Thanksgiving is earlier in Canada than the States because Canada is colder than the States.

In the U.S., Thanksgiving Day is on the 4th Thursday in November. I think that people take the Friday off work too, so that it's a 4-day weekend.

Thanksgiving Day is a day in North America where people in the old days celebrated the harvest (when the food is finished growing.) In Europe and Asia, they don't have Thanksgiving.
