In case you missed the memo, Janelle is CANADIAN. As in, she lives in CANADA. Where Thanksgiving is celebrated in OCTOBER. On a Monday. (Or Sunday, depending on when your family chooses to get together). 

 

Apparently, some Americans in her comments section didn't get that memo after Janelle posted a Thanksgiving skit on social media… and they were VERY quick to try to correct her. Oops.

 

This week, Janelle is debriefing CANADIAN Thanksgiving and getting into the complicated expectations that come with family gatherings. Who's hosting? Who's expected to show up? And why do some families insist on getting everyone together when half the people in the room don't even like each other?

 

She also talks about the difference between REAL closeness and the kind of fake family closeness where everyone pretends things are great for the sake of tradition, why your comfort level with extended family matters, and how holidays can bring out some of the most frustrating dynamics between in-laws.
