I often wonder which of my American ancestors celebrated this special day with family.
My last ancestor from USA (Levi Peer) left that country in 1801. Would he have celebrated with family? I don't know!
Last night we took our grandsons out for a "Festive Holiday Meal" here in Ontario Canada. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in November. Ours is in October but one of our chain restaurants is offering Christmas (yes, Christmas!) meals now so that is what we had. I told the boys we were celebrating American Thanksgiving one day early.
Enjoy your special day!
Lorine, thanks for the good wishes! Have a great day!
