What’s the big deal with Thanksgiving


Well happy thanksgiving everyone! Most of my posts have something to do with Real Estate or things pertaining to Muskoka or Gravenhurst. I really do feel blessed living and working in Muskoka.  I am thankful for my clients and seeing them happy when they either sell their property or acquire a new home. So whats the big deal with thanksgiving? How did it start? How do most folks celebrate it in 2012? And how about those childhood memories? 

I remember my first experiences with Thanksgiving weekends, fond memories having dinner at my Grandma & Grandpa Pilger’ up the road. They would always put on a great feast.  My dad and brother would contribute by supplying a few partridge (Grouse) and Grandma would work her magic on producing the best gravy. We usually had turkey As well. Mom would often augment the meal with her own specialties…….. One of my favorites….. Pumpkin pie. 

Through the years things changed a bit but it was always a time for family and friends. It’s always a special time of the year, with fall colours, good food & good company. So I hope all of you enjoy your own memories and create new ones at this very special time of the year. 

Here is a little tidbit in the Toronto Sun regarding Canadian vs. American Thanksgiving……..  Canadian vs.American Thanksgiving 

Have a great one!
