In reply to Debbie. I hear you, that has happened for me also. I remember when my great grandmother was still alive, the clan gathering at that time was enormous, things are much smaller now.

Lots to ponder 🤔 The celebrations have changed here throughout the years.. people move or die, seasonal stories have changed and the table gatherings have become sparse..time to look inward and redefine the seasonal meanings..yes something to think about

I don’t know what they taught about the original thanksgiving in the US, but in Canada we have Thanksgiving about a month earlier then the US, close to Remembrance Day with is another stat holiday (meaning few people work (and the ones that do are paid double time and a half their normal hourly wage) most all businesses are closed). I think our Remembrance Day is close to US’s Veteran day. Thanksgiving has always been a time when we come together as a family. I used to go to my parents when my son was very young and now that my parents have passed, my husband and I have our two sons who are grown men come for Thanksgiving. It’s not the date that really matters. For 2 years I worked for an American company that opened a business in my city and because of it, we celebrated Thanksgiving on the date in the US days for Thanksgiving. It was the coming together as a family that mattered.
This may have been a little off topic but celebrations during the year have always been about having the people that you love around you.
