Count your blessings this Thanksgiving

Families all over the country will gather today to mark Thanksgiving, likely the biggest non-religious celebration of the year.

Thanksgiving is truly an “All American” event, meant to bring family and friends together over a big meal to express gratitude and thanks.

It’s the Big 3: Family, food and football. And while our friends to the north in Canada also celebrate “Thanksgiving” their holiday, observed the second Monday of October, is decidedly lower key in Canada. The holiday is widely celebrated in Canada and is a statutory holiday in most of the country, however, Canadians’ approach to Thanksgiving is a bit more laid back.
