I keep forgetting about this black friday thing, here. Jesus. At
least it is, technically, *after* Turkey Day, and so, the Xmas
Season kickoff...
I like Canada a lot - As much as I love the US tribe, Canada is
always a kinder and gentler example, to me, of how to act as a
country, though their much smaller population makes it all a bit
easier to manage, too. I cannot recall ever having met a
Canadian, who was not friendly, giving, personable, and
trustworthy. I worked with several, for years, in various tech
companies. Have only visited Ottowa, though - Loved It - Instant
Europe. I don't know where it comes from, but my daughter is a
big hockey fan - not quite religion, but it is her 'go to' game.
Happy Thanksgiving, if yours is on the same day...or just good
morning!

I mentioned about Thanksgiving, being a less commercial holiday
than our others, and am curious if a similar holiday exists in
the other countries represented here? In other words, one not
tied to religion or patriotism, or a great person, but simply to
give thanks for what we have.

/*Canadian thanksgiving is pretty much the same but we don't have
the big shopping thing the day after. Canadians tend to be a bit
more understated than Americans in most things they do on a large
scale - oh, except for the hockey thing. That is religion here
and considered their own invention although I think some
arguments exist that Holland invented the first hockey sticks and
the idea of hitting objects around a frozen surface.*/
