Thanksgiving comes to Canada first. And on a Monday, to boot. Thanksgiving is celebrated each year on the second Monday of October in Canada and celebrates the harvest and other blessings of the past year. Thanksgiving has been officially celebrated as an annual holiday in Canada since November 6, 1879, when Parliament declared a national day of thanksgiving. Its date has moved around several times, but in 1957, Thanksgiving was proclaimed an annual event to occur on the second Monday of October. In Canada, Thanksgiving falls on the same day as Columbus Day in the United States.

The correct answer is 2nd Monday in October.
