Second year here and it&#8217;s still pretty weird to be knitting up Christmas gifts and trying out Thanksgiving recipes when the weather is so wonderful but I know, poor me, right?<\/p>\n<p>The kids have been learning more differences between Canadian Thanksgiving and American Thanksgiving. Canadian Thanksgiving is all about the fall harvest and of course, American Thanksgiving is a celebration of the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians sharing a harvest feast. Similar, but not quite the same. So we&#8217;ve been learning some American history. Here&#8217;s a little trivia that&#8217;s new to me, this first breaking of bread between the colonists and the Native Indians took place in 1621, but it wasn&#8217;t an official holiday until Lincoln declared it one in the middle of the Civil War in 1863.
