Happy Thanksgiving!


Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends and collectors!

Do you know that it wasn’t until 1957 that the Canadian government decided to settle on the second Monday of October as the official Canadian Thanksgiving date?

The proclamation by the government states that Thanksgiving is, “A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed – to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October.”  The holiday was chosen in October as that date is closer to the time in which Canadian farmers harvest.

So, what do you have to give thanks for?
