Still proud to be American.
If you’re not Canadian, maybe you didn’t know that Canadian Thanksgiving was October 11th this year. (Unless you pay attention to the holidays marked on most calendars).
In honor of a few of our favorite Canadians, Hannah and I cooked up a (Canadian) Thanksgiving feast.
The best part was going over the top with Canadian decorations. You would have thought it was Canada Day with all the flags, maple leaves, maple syrup bottles, and moose in full hockey gear.
We even arranged for a few special surprise guests to arrive.
Clockwise from left: Stephen Harper (Prime Minister), Robin from How I Met Your Mother, Dave Coulier (don’t try to tell me he’s from Detroit), and Tim Horton (or a “Tim Horton”).
And there was trivia!
Oh, the meal was pretty delicious too!
I think we were all thankful for the friendships we’ve developed (Canadians and Americans alike).
Now I’m all the more excited for American Thanksgiving in just a few weeks!
xo, jill
Looks like fun. I have nearly memorized “O Canada!” from attending so many hockey games. Remind me to sing it to you sometime.
Oh, Canada, our home and native land. True patriot love in all thy sons’ command.
I love Canadian Thanksgiving! I especially like all of your decorations, and the special guests.
