There will be unbuckling of belts here this weekend as it's THANKSGIVING!!!! Or as Americans like to call it, Canadian Thanksgiving. Or the rest of the world, Monday. Anyway I love Thanksgiving because it's an excuse to eat a ton of carbs. The winters are long here and we need to build up an extra layer of insulation to get us through, like bears. Yeah, that's all factual.
In other news...

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so much like the picture I posted of my cat this week!
ReplyDeleteHow do you expect us Americans to remember your holiday when it's not on the same day as ours??
ReplyDeleteKidding!
Happy carb-fest!
Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYes, of course we do have to distinguish your Canadian Thanksgiving from ours. If we didn't say "Canadian" we'd just get confused. ;)
I always love your Friday kitties. Have a super weekend!
Jill & Bookfool- I laugh at the Canadians on Twitter who call it "Canadian Thanksgiving." I mean, if you're Canadian just call it Thanksgiving! And I also refer to your Thanksgiving as American Thanksgiving just to be fair. :)
ReplyDeleteI never thought of that extra layer of insulation we need for winter. It completely takes away any guilt I was going to feel for eating the two turkey dinners on Sunday. (both families want us for meals)
ReplyDeleteHappy (just plain) Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
