Absolutely right about that. We don't get behind Thanksgiving in a pilgrims and Puritans way. The US Thanksgiving was officially proclaimed by Abraham Lincoln. That's a pretty big endorsement. In Canada it was made a stat holiday in 1957. It has no history and five of our provinces make it optional.

I married an American, so Thanksgiving, even the Canadian version is always a big deal for him. I'm like, meh. In any event, it is always a good idea to step back and be grateful.
