Canadian holiday on the second Monday in October
Canadian Thanksgiving used to be held on the same day as American Thanksgiving, but by late November Canadians aren't feeling very thankful.

It has went very far from it's traditional meaning. Thanksgiving is supposedly a holiday to give thanks, but you are not giving thanks at all. Nowdays it is a holiday is where you go see some obligatory in law or relative and stuff yourself with turkey, watch Detroit play football, zonk out, and stuff your gut with some more turkey after that. The women have to do all the cooking, dishes, etc. while the men just gorge on the food. But the women get revenge the next day...Black Friday shopping!
Typical guy on thanksgiving: Ah, turkey was good...lets watch Detroit beat the Bears...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

The last Thursday in November, when white Americans celebrate the beginning of the rape and genocide of Native Americans by stuffing their fat belly's, as if they've ever needed a reason to eat.
I can't wait till tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner. I am going to eat so much, I will be shitting turkey and cranberry sauce for a week. And I'll say a prayer for all those Indians who died in the name of our greed and gluttony.

Thanksgiving is a holiday that is celebrated in the United States. It is a feast day, where people characteristically eat the Turkey a bird which gives it the nickname "Turkey day".
Like many holidays in America it has been secularized. The typical portrait of the holiday is the typical American family stuffing themselvs at the table while watching Football(American Football) and the Rose Parade(A parade held in Pasadena California before the aforementioned football game).
The holiday can be controversial, many people say that this holiday celebrates the massacre of the Indigenous people of the United States that is not true. The holiday commemorates the Pilgrims, religious exiles from Europe, giving thanks to for their survival of the harsh climate of the American continent.
We give thanksgiving to god today for our survival.

Oh boy! its thanksgiving now we can all stuff ourselves.

This is an American holiday, where kids get to take off from school, and adults get to take off from work so they can sit on their fat ass', and eat. Yet, they disguise their lazyness by saying they are taking off, to give thanks for what they have. They also watch football on this day.
Little Lazy Boy sitting on a couch with turkey in his mouth.. "I'm so thankful for Thanksgiving!"
