Turkey Day (Canada)

Happy turkey day! We know it is being celebrated in Canada today and soon in America. However, we don't know where else it is celebrated.

Just like the rest of our human friends we celebrate thanksgiving. We are half potatoes so we celebrate with potatoes as well.  The way potatoes celebrate thanksgiving is a little different. They make it a huge party. They are very thankful they got to live through the holiday. But it is also a time for grieving because of the loss of their family and friends. This is a difficult time for potatoes. Sometimes they are confused in whether they should party or grieve, so they make sure to do both. Potatoes honour the fallen ones. They share stories of the best memories they have with the potatoes that have just passed away. They also vow to protect the loved ones left behind by the fallen potatoes. Once they're done, they have a feast and they make sure that the favourite foods of the potatoes that are gone are there. Potatoes also play lots of games including everyone's favourite: sack racing.

This day reminds everyone that danger is very close by so they must always stay alert and they must not take things for granted because it is easy to lose everything. This is a very emotional day for potatoes and they must quickly compose themselves because just like humans, they too have school the next day.
