Pictures of Emm
A naked Emma (as she was at thirty something)) may not really be appropriate, but at least we’ve remembered what day it is. Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to the explorer Martin Frobisher, who had been trying to find a northern passage to the Orient. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now the province of Newfoundland and Labrador to give thanks for surviving the long journey. This feast is considered by many to be the first Thanksgiving celebration in North America. While the actual Thanksgiving holiday is on a Monday, Canadians might eat their Thanksgiving meal on any day of the three day weekend. Thanksgiving is often celebrated with family, it is also often a time for weekend getaways for couples to observe the autumn leaves, spend one last weekend at the cottage, or participate in various outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and hunting. Have a nice day everyone.
