That's the first time i ever thought about it. I actually couldn't come up with a response to that question. lol So i had to research it and this is why: (if you really care) The first Canadian Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1872 to commemorate the fact that the future king had mysteriously recovered from a deadly illness. For a few years after that it didn't get celebrated. I'm not sure what date it was, but several years later Thanksgiving Day was "resurrected" as a joint holiday with Armistice Day (current Remembrance Day). This was prior to WW2. It was felt the two should be joined as we were celebrating our freedom and those who had fought for it. Around the time of the beignning of WW2, it was decided the Remembrance Day deserved it's own holiday, and Thanksgiving it's own. (as there was much to be thankful for, inculding but not limited to freedom, and many felt that the "thanksgiving part of the holiday" ie getting drunk on cheap booze, lol, was not properly respectful of those who had given their lives for the country). So Remembrance Day is November 11 each year and Thanksgiving is the second Monday in October.  |
