Thanksgiving Day in Canada

It is well-known that Canada has thanksgiving as well as America, and I’m introducing how Canadians spend thanksgiving. In Canada, thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October. I suppose that you know its date is different from US. The date of US is the forth Tursday in November. It is because the beginnings are different. However I don't refer to its history. If you want to know about it, please click this link. During this celebration, family and relatives gather and eat meal. This meal is quite the same to America; Pumpkin pie, stuffing and so stuff. Of course, the main is roasted turkey with cranberry sauce. According to my research, there are some people don’t eat turkey because this turkey is usually cheap and doesn’t taste good. However, every year people eat, because it is a tradition. It is also often for couples to watch the autumn leaves or participate in outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and hunting. We can enjoy eating meals for free or at a discount in some restaurants of center city.

I've heard the festival "Thansksgiving Day" once at school lessons. The content looks like New year's Day in Japan, and we can eat too much, so I want to go to Canada at the season.
