Now I'm sure not everyone in Canada eats turkey, but it's been part of my life and my husband's life since we were little kids and we were raised in dissimilar households.
OTOH, in Canada, Thanksgiving is not nearly as big as holiday as it is in the States. And right, we eat turkey then too. And that's it for turkey for the rest of the year.
It seems to me that ham is traditional at Easter. Yes? No?
But then I may be off on the wrong track completely.
Yes, turkey for both holidays at our home and those of most of my friends. At least in Canada there's 2+ months between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ours can be as short as 3 1/2 weeks.
