Told James on the phone a few days ago that as an American in Alberta (spent three years there doing my undergrad) that while I found Thanksgiving in early October kinda strange, I really liked it- the American students would then get together at my place (married student the last two years) for the American version the next month. Kinda like being a fan of the two party (or more) system.

Trust our Canadian friends had a good one.
