... but this is not Canadian Thanksgiving Day
So we’re having thanksgiving with a bunch of American-Armenians (most of whom have or still log here)… guess who ended up making the Turkey? Yep, us Canadians!
Well it’s ok really, we have been known to be the backbone of North America.
Of course I am kidding. I love teasing my Armenian-American friends and am able to take some Canadian bashing myself, so no hard feelings I’m sure.
The main reason for this log is regarding a thought I was having today. It’s so interesting that when we were in the West (USA, Canada, Europe etc) we would go all out to make sure that we celebrate that Armenian holiday. Here it is the opposite. We make sure that we do something special on Halloween, Thanksgiving and even Christmas (well, that’s because Lara’s and some of my family is Catholic). Anyhow, this beig said, I think us Armenians get the better of each world, no matter where we live.
Happy Thanksgiving – remember to watch the All Armenia Fund Telethon and pledge!
