We celebrate both...my husband (Canadian) doesnt really have any traditions with Thanksgiving dinner.. Turkey, potatoes, gravy, rolls, stuffing etc.... I (USC) however cannot have Thanksgiving (or Christmas) without green bean casserole!..my husband doesnt love it, but will tolerate it for the holidays...LOL

I also manage to celebrate both, well at least for the last few years anyway. Tonight I'm off to my family dinner, and next month, I took the week off for American Thanksgiving (like I do every year), so I will end up somewhere!!! My husband is away, so I can either go to Vegas to have dinner with his family, or just go down to Seattle and spend it with my good friend and her family!! The food is just too good not to go!! Then of course, the shopping the next day!!

Mostly high fructose corn syrup
I hate that stuff and it seems like it is in everything.

it doesn't seem like it, it is in everything ...lol

we bought some applesauce awhile back and it said "no sugar added" and we were like cool, it will be better for us.. anywho, I checked out the ingredient list later and guess what, there was high fructose corn syrup in the applesauce :P I guess we need to look for "unsweetened" :P

**************

I haven't celebrated the Canadian Thanksgiving since I have moved the the US :(..... I think the American Thanksgiving is far too close to Christmas :unsure:

My family is notorious for telling me about last minute family gatherings... I'm told this morning that we have a big Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night at my cousin's townhouse. Since I'm moving on Thursday, I've already booked all my free time to spend with my girlfriends *sigh* As a result I barely had enough time to go get pumpkin pie fixings, and now I just saw that I bought the "pumpkin pie mix" instead of regular pumpkin in a can.

It sounds silly, but that irks me to no end. -_-

Getting our sanity tested by bureaucracy since 2007.

I asked C. about it... 'Oh, so when's our Thanksgiving again?' Guess we're not doing an October one. ;) We just plan to celebrate in November.
