Thanksgiving 2020

“Give thanks not just on Thanksgiving Day, but every day of your life. Appreciate and never take for granted all that you have.”Catherine Pulsifer


It’s Thanksgiving time here in Canada, Monday October 14. I cannot help but think that this Thanksgiving may be somewhat bitter. It will be about who is not at the table, rather than who is at the table. My heart grieves to all who have lost a loved one, a partner, a friend, for them it may feel more like Dickens Scrooge, “bah, humbug”.

Traveling to Grandma’s house for Thanksgiving may actually be turned into a video call on platforms like Zoom, Face Time, etc., The meal may be only for those who live under the same roof. In Canada travel between Provinces is still not encouraged. One of the questions asked when you book an appointment is, “have you traveled outside of the Province”?

Thanksgiving for me will be myself and best friend, then a phone call to my aunt who lives in another Province. My daughter and grandchildren will celebrate their day at home. Maybe I will hear from them, I will be happy if they do call.

Covid-19 has placed it’s mark on Thanksgiving 2020. This blogger will be interested to hearing how the airlines, bus companies, do over this long weekend.

So dear reader now matter where you are when you are reading this, Canadians and Americans, I wish you the best for this Thanksgiving 2020.

    It’s been several years since I last did anything for Thanksgiving, so this year won’t be any different.

    Here in the states we have some time before Thanksgiving comes around for us. But, as it seems like things are on the down-swing again, it is most likely going to be a holiday at home. I am not much of a people person lately, so that is ok with me. The US canceled all Black Friday shopping events!!! I feel so bad for retailers in these Covid Days.

      I also think about retailers. I live in a city where retailer the big “W” is it. So for me it is hello Amazon. I do hear about all those smaller retailers who have had to shutter their doors.
