Festivals celebrating and giving thanks for the bounty of the land have been observed around the world for a very long time. In the present day, Thanksgiving is celebrated in more than a dozen countries. In Germany, they call it Erntedankfest, or the Harvest Thanksgiving Festival. Japanese people celebrate Kinrō Kansha no Hi (Labor Thanksgiving Day). In Rwanda, it’s known as Umuganura (firstfruits) Day or National Harvest Day.
Here in Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October. We gather with friends and family for a roast turkey feast celebrating the harvest and all the things we’re thankful for. This year, why not add some fun Thanksgiving jokes and riddles to your celebration?
