One major difference I’ve noted is that Americans tend to have their Thanksgiving meal on the Thursday evening, whereas Canadians have their meal anytime from Friday to Monday. ç§ã‚‚見ã¤ã‘ã‚‹, in contras to what the magazine you cite suggests, that Canadian meals are nowhere near as monolithic as their American counterparts. Canadians tend to include local and ethnic specialities. My wife’s family always includes that delicious Prairie treat: the cabbage roll. I much prefer the Canadian celebration to the American one. While I miss seeing my family, I don’t miss the overshadowing of Thanksgiving by Christmas. Celebrating in October helps keep the holiday true to its roots as a harvest festival.
Thanks for the comments, ã¨. That’s true that there doesn’t seem to be a set day or time for the Thanksgiving meal in Canada — just some time during the Thanksgiving Day weekend. And I’ve never had cabbage rolls at Thanksgiving, ã—ã‹ã—ã€å½¼ã‚‰ã¯ãŠã„ã—ã„音!
As an American living in Canada, this is the one holiday that really saddens me that I am not able to celebrate in true U.S. スタイル. It truly is my favorite holiday. It has nothing to do with the nearing of Christmas, or Black Friday shopping (which I have never experienced) – it was about the being with my family, ç§ã®å‹äººã‚’å‚ç…§ã—ã¦ãã ã•ã„。, playing and watching football, クールãªãƒ‹ãƒ¥ãƒ¼ã‚¤ãƒ³ã‚°ãƒ©ãƒ³ãƒ‰ã®å¤©æ°—, ãã—ã¦ã‚‚ã¡ã‚ん食ã¹ç‰©.
I struggled last Thursday as I watched my husband go off to work and put my children on the bus, 一人ã§ä¸€æ—¥ã‚’éŽã”ã—ã¾ã—ãŸ. This year is was a little bit harder because, we had parent/teacher conferences that night. No thanksgiving dinner.
I’m thinking next year, ç§ã¯å®¶ã®å供をç¶æŒã—ã¾ã™.
I feel the same way — Thanksgiving is the one holiday that makes me feel homesick for my family and friends in the U.S. Some years we celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving, some years we make a Thanksgiving dinner during the weekend of American Thanksgiving (ãŸã ã—ã¾ã‚Œã«æœ¨æ›œæ—¥ã«æ„Ÿè¬ç¥, ã‚ãªãŸãŒæŒ‡æ‘˜ã™ã‚‹ã‚ˆã†ã«ä»¥æ¥ã€, it’s a school and work day), and some lucky years we celebrate both!
Perhaps you could start a new Thanksgiving tradition for your family in Canada. Maybe it’s a good time to volunteer in your community? ç§ãŸã¡ã®ãƒã‚¹ãƒˆ http://www.livingabroadincanada.com/2009/11/25/american-thanksgiving-do-you-miss-it/ has links to resources for volunteers across Canada.

明らã‹ã«, I can’t compare but I have the feeling that Thanksgiving is a much bigger deal in the U.S.A. Maybe because it is also a synonym of Black Friday and OMG-Christmas-is-coming?
I’m not sure why Thanksgiving is a much bigger deal in the U.S. カナダより, but I do think it preceded the creation of the “ブラックフライデー” shopping day. American schoolkids spend a lot of time learning about the Pilgrims who first settled the U.S. east coast and the legend of the first Thanksgiving, so the Thanksgiving dinner has a certain mythology surrounding it. It’s a non-religious holiday, so its celebration isn’t limited to particular religious groups, but that’s true in Canada as well.
If anyone else has any thoughts about the relative importance of Thanksgiving in the U.S. カナダ, ãƒãƒ£ã‚¤ãƒ ãã ã•ã„!
