Happy Thanksgiving

So this is a really exciting day for me....I got an iPod touch...FINALLY!!!! Just sayin. It's pretty awesome. I got a purple zebra stripped case, purple headphones, and a purple charging cord. Yes, you could say that I'm obsessed with purple but there's nothing wrong with that...I mean it's better than drugs or something. So anyways I'm now gonna talk about something productive. Thanksgiving...the Canadian way... So here we go!! let's start with how it began. Our very first thanksgiving was in Newfoundland in 1578 when English explorer Martin Frobisher arrived there and wanted to give thanks for his safe arrival. So this means our thanksgiving happened even before the pilgrims arrived in the us. Thanksgiving was declared an official holiday in 1879 and was originally celebrated in late October or early November, it was then changed in 1957 because it always fell too close to rememberance day. And finally the only reason for the different dates between the canadian and American thanksgiving is because the holiday is about giving thanks for the harvests they had throughout the season. And since Canada is located more north the seasons change faster so thanksgiving comes sooner. So I believe that will be all for me.....happy thanksgiving!
