While Canada and the United States share many holidays – including Christmas and Labour Day – Canadian and American Thanksgivings are held almost two months apart.
Canadian Thanksgiving takes place on the second Monday in October, while American Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November. Canada’s celebration has often been credited to it getting colder the further north you go – and therefore having an earlier harvest.
However, while both Canadians and Americans enjoy a turkey dinner, football and a day off on the respective Thanksgiving holidays, Canada’s giving-thanks festivities may actually have begun earlier in history.
