Much appreciated, man!
You guys do Thanksgiving on a different day in Canada, right? I feel like I should start celebrating both Canadian and American holidays, because you can never have too many fun days.

We eat Turkey too (some people eat hams instead...) but we do it in October because we're Canadian and we want to be different but not too different.

October definitely makes more sense than late November in a place like Canada, I think. Cities like Calgary and even ones closer to the US border can be getting pretty significant snow by now, and you don't want to have a holiday of getting together when weather conditions make that impossible.
Heck, we even got snow in this part of Pennsylvania last Saturday, and it still hasn't melted off.
I'd be in favor of shifting all holidays to the summer and just hibernating during these dark months. I'm dead serious, if I ever make any money from Outer Colony, I'm getting a condo in New Zealand or Australia and going to the southern hemisphere during the winter months up here. I suppose it's nice to dream, at least.
Do you guys get much snow in British Columbia? My brother is on a quest to visit every NHL arena over the course of his life, and I know Vancouver is high on his list of places to visit. In a place like that, I have a feeling that October is a bit more pleasant than January, though.
