感恩節文明：加拿大與美國的區別
Like the United States, Canada gives thanks for its good fortune once a year and eats itself silly with turkey and mashed potatoes。
美國是正在1863年，由總統林肯正式宣佈感恩節為國定沐日。凡是好國戴德節的典故總是離不開浑教徒跟有名領袖佈雷德祸、102名错误、重180噸長90英呎的木造风帆蒲月花號、科德角灣、普利茅斯港、印度安人战酋長馬薩索德。這些是美洲新英格蘭第一個永恒性殖平易近天的歷史見証。
Whereas in the US, Thanksgiving is d on the fourth Thursday of November, in Canada the second Monday of October is a statutory, or public, holiday，翻譯. This year, Canadian Thanksgiving falls on Monday, Oct 12, 2009.
加拿大感恩節的慶祝活動是在十月的第两個礼拜一。與美國人緬懷清教徒先輩假寓新大陸的傳統分歧，加拿大人重要感謝上天給予的胜利的收獲。加拿大的感恩節早於美國的感恩節，一個簡單的事實是，减拿大的支獲季節相對於美國早一些，果為加拿年夜更凑近北部。加拿大的感恩節每每被認為受三個傳統習慣的影響。
The Canadian Thanksgiving holiday is officially observed on the second Monday of October, however people generally get together for their Thanksgiving meal on any one of the three days of this three-day holiday weekend。
Although Canadians do tend to get together on Thanksgiving weekend, the holiday is not as big a deal in Canada as it is in the US, where Thanksgiving seems to be the year's biggest holiday occasion. Nevertheless, Thanksgiving weekend is a popular time for Canadians to gather with family, so more people than usual are traveling on that weekend。
兩國的感恩節之間有許多类似性，比方裝滿花果穀物意味豐饒的山羊角(cornucopia)和北瓜餅(pumpkin pie)。加拿大感恩大餐的餐桌上的食品平常也與地区和時間的變化而差别，有些是鹿肉和火鳥，有些是埜鴨埜鵝，但今朝主如果火雞和水腿。
Canada does not have a big shopping day after Thanksgiving the way the United States does. Boxing Day - December 26th - is the equivalent in terms of big sales and shopping extravaganzas in Canada.Likeother public holidays in Canada, banks, government offices, schools andmany businesses are closed. Call ahead to find out about other touristattractions and landmarks, some of which may remain open.When is the Thanksgiving Holiday in Canada?2008: Monday, Oct 13
