Giving Thanks

Posted on October 9, 2016 by Brenton Dickieson

Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadians. Author L.A. Smith has a nice little blog that puts Thanksgiving in Canadian and European context that I hope you enjoy. We in Canada are celebrating this weekend because, frankly, if we waited until late November there would be nothing of the harvest left to eat! We are having beautiful weather here in PEI but I’ve had to protect tomatoes from frost three times already!
The ovens are hot across the country and we are settling down to feast today or tomorrow. See you next on Tuesday!

About Brenton Dickieson

“A Pilgrim in Narnia” is a blog project in reading and talking about the work of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, the Inklings, L.M. Montgomery, and the worlds they created. As a "Faith, Fantasy, and Fiction" blog, we cover topics like children’s literature, myths and mythology, fantasy, science fiction, speculative fiction, poetry, theology, cultural criticism, art and writing. This blog includes my thoughts as I read through my favourite writings and reflect on my own life and culture. In this sense, I am a Pilgrim in Narnia--or Middle Earth, or Fairyland, or Avonlea. I am often peeking inside of wardrobes, looking for magic bricks in urban alleys, or rooting through yard sale boxes for old rings. If something here captures your imagination, leave a comment, “like” a post, share with your friends, or sign up to receive Narnian Pilgrim posts in your email box. Brenton Dickieson (PhD, Chester) is a father, husband, friend, university lecturer, and freelance writer from Prince Edward Island, Canada.

    Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends. At least in Canada, Thanksgiving isn’t immediately followed by the insanity of Black Friday, or interrupted by Black Thursday as it is in the US!
