It’s Canadian Thanksgiving and that’s a better thanksgiving because there’s 8 long weeks between it and Christmas without having dinner with your conservative relatives.

    You scared me. It’s 10 weeks till Xmas! Also cool I just dived into Canada Thanksgiving to learn more about it. I wish I was eating some home cooked turkey right now… my only observation is that it’s Monday? From the sounds of it, you just do it on the weekend instead.i would hate to do this on a Monday and go to work the next day.

      In my experience, its always just celebrated on the weekend. Canadian holidays are set up so that even if a holiday isn’t on a weekday, we get the following Monday off anyway

        Half and half. I have to take the day, but it’s not a problem to take it. Since working from home became a thing, I don’t really bother taking it and will do a few things in the first hour and just kinda monitor throughout the rest of the day and only respond if someone reaches out. Since nobody is there, it’s really quiet.

      I’ve got three days of Thanksgiving dinners. It’s a lot here.

      Saturday with the in-laws, Sunday for my family, Monday at our place with friends. It’s nice but it’s so much food. Then leftover turkey for a week.
