3) Something different all together?

I wouldn't call it a religious holiday, but as dolf says, many businesses are closed, as are the banks.
And we do have turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.
I would say it's much like the American celebration, but on a smaller scale.
I have read in one or two places that Thanksgiving in the States is as big or bigger than Christmas ... though I find that hard to believe.
One would never, however, say that of the Canadian celebration.
