1950s vintage thanksgiving card illustration.

This weekend it’s Canadian Thanksgiving and I’m off to hop around Ontario to spend time with my families. It’s going to be a super time of eating, drinking and spending time with family. I CAN’T WAIT!

So for today’s ‘Vintage Photo Tuesday‘ I’m doing a Part 2 of an original post I did in 2016 entitled ‘Celebrating Thanksgiving‘.

Enjoy friends and Happy Thanksgiving to all that celebrate!

October 2023 Update! Here are more vintage images from this series:

I’m pretty sure giving a little kid a big bone with meat on it is NOT something parents do anymore (ahhh how times have changed). -1958 photo

Please turn and smile at the camera before we eat. Thanks! 1960s photo (not a thanksgiving photo, but there is a turky so I’m using it).
