Holiday Of Bernie And Gerry

Bernie and Gerry’s most celebrated holiday is Thanksgiving and Christmas. In Canada, Thanksgiving was officially celebrated on Nov. 6. Later, the holiday was celebrated on the third Monday in October. On Jan. 31, 1957, parliament solved the confusion by proclaiming that Thanksgiving be celebrated on the second Monday in October. The earlier date draws from the fact that Canada is located further north than the United States, causing harvest season to take place earlier. French Canadians usually start celebrating the night of the 24th. Kids take a nap after dinner until 8 or 9 pm. The whole family (uncle, aunts, cousins, grandparents...) then get together, eat finger foods, drink wine, some go to Church, play games, listen to Christmas
