My Thanksgiving Day

My first Thanksgiving Day is today, because the countries where I lived before to Canada, never celebrated this day. I think, it is an interesting custom in Canada, and excellent opportunity for meet families and share a table with delicious, and traditional food, but for me the most important goal is the opportunity for giving thanks to god for abundance harvests. In all places of the Calgary make a reference to Thanksgiving Day, my impression is great about this day and I am exciting. I live alone, but today, I celebrated Thanksgiving Day with a Venezuelan family, they are living in Calgary and enjoy this celebration. This weekend, I helped my friends in the selection of the menu and some items. I want to learn about food for this day and reviewed in internet some dishes and recipes. I now that in Canadian families, the recipes is a tradition that pass to generation in generation, is common that the recipes to made a cranberry sauce or pumpkin pie, have a special secret of the most grandmothers. I love cook for special days, and I like found traditional menus. I copy some wonderful recipes for my personal record. I enjoy some tradition of countries in South America and I think that I incorporate this Canadian tradition in my life too.
