And happy Columbus Day to us!

Thanks for your Thanksgiving wishes. I'm not familiar with Columbus Day, but hope you have a good Day. I'm having our family here for a turkey dinner which is the only time I cook a turkey and all the trimmings, which include turkey, ham, cabbage rolls made by daughter, pierogies, turnip puff (always have to have turnip with turkey), cranberry sauce pumpkin pie made by granddaughter, and apple pie. I can smell it now!

Yum! I love a good turnip puff, too! Dexx, do sports (on TV) of some kind play a big part of your Thanksgiving day?

Columbus Day isn't much celebrated....I think that most people know that Columbus didn't 'discover' America. It's a day when government offices of some states takes a day off and our garbage doesn't get picked up, lol. It's not a national holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

Happy Thanksgiving and I sure would love to have a turnip puff recipe, please.

Rhizo, no sports today. A lot of folks who have a summer place go up to the lake and close it up for the winter. Our big football game is the Grey Cup which will be on Nov.26. That's when we all indulge in all the bad food, such as chips, dips, appetizers, beer, etc. Most folks have their Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday, but some of our family members go to girlfriend's or boyfriend's house, so I always have it on Monday.

We just have the usual bacon coated turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing and carrots. Very traditional meal. I cook. The kids and my grandson come over. We eat, they go home. :) It was a nice day, but my grandson seriously needed a nap. He was quite cranky. But with so many people at the house, he didn't want to miss out on anything: except dinner. He hates to try different food and even promising him toys didn't work. He refused to eat dinner because it wasn't a grilled cheese sandwich. And I ate the jello I made him for dessert. :)

Thanksgiving Day in CANADA. May your year have been fruitful.

US Banks closed for the day, also. (Columbus Day)

jemdandy, not all banks.

Our Thanksgiving is always the second weekend in October. Usually the trees are alive with splendid colour, or past their peak. We had an unseasonably warm September (in the high 20's, low 30's Celcius) so the trees are hanging on to their green leaves.

It's just hubby and I for Thanksgiving, and I do the turkey, mashed potatoes with sour cream and cream cheese, turnip puff, dressing usually in the slow cooker. This year I came across a dressing made out of butternut squash, brussels sprouts, an apple, celery, onion, cranberries and walnuts and bread cubes......roasted. It's very good.

I like having our big meal on Sunday, and Monday is spend relaxing, although I did make bread and an apple pie yesterday :-)

No sports on tv, like the U.S. Thanksgiving. An annual parade in our city, and festivities.......we also celebrate Oktoberfest at this time of year.

Many people use this weekend to close up their cottages and have the last hurrah of summer.

I missed this yesterday, Happy Thanksgiving!
