The Great Update Date: October 28!

I live in the US. To me, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thurs in Nov. I know many of my neighbors and forum friends celebrated Thanksgiving in Canada in October.

I just checked Wikipedia. The first Thanksgiving in Canada was in 1578. In the US the first Thanksgiving was in 1621.

Correct. The USA were not first to have thanksgiving. Saying thanksgiving should revolve around the US makes me laugh. (Ps it was October 10 this year)

Looks like someone else needs to study up on their history.

Any pictures of the plant monster?

BTW it's a reference to Little Shop of Horrors which has a man eating plant

In little shop of horrors the plants name was Audrey 2, which Seymour (Rick Moranis) lovingly named after Audrey, his crush.

There's the musical movie trivia lesson for the evening

Well, might have to disagree with you there. I think everything should revolve around the US

(ducks and hides)

I'm kidding.

Ok you can have this one. My feelings aren't strong about this.

So does anyone have a pic of the Audrey 2 for restaurant?

No pic yet but I really want to buy it, the only thing is that when I place it it look small like a size of a small chair and I keep uhmming and rring about it. And in regards to thanksgiving here in Australia & NZ we don't even do it, we thank no one lol.

maybe you should have kept reading the ENTIRE Wikipedia article....

"Thanksgiving in Canada did not have a fixed date until the late 19th century. Prior to Canadian confederation, many of the individual colonial governors of the Canadian provinces had declared their own days of Thanksgiving. The first official Canadian Thanksgiving occurred on April 15, 1872 when the nation was celebrating the Prince of Wales' recovery from a serious illness.[17]"
