Well, happy Thanksgiving.
Bob, the Canadian here.
Welcome to this little video about Thanksgiving,
a holiday that we have in the fall,
or autumn, here in Canada.
Thanksgiving weekend is a holiday
where we don't work on the Monday.
Today is actually Thanksgiving Day.
And the greeting we use on Thanksgiving
is Happy Thanksgiving.
So Happy Thanksgiving to all of you
who are watching this video.
I just wanted to tell you a little bit about Thanksgiving,
a little bit about the things I am thankful for.
And then I wanted to ask you about
the things that you are thankful for,
about the things that you are grateful for.
So, let's talk about Thanksgiving.
On Thanksgiving weekend,
we usually spend time with family.
This past Saturday, Jen and I and the kids
went to Jen's parents' place
and we had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
We had turkey, we had potatoes,
we had different kinds of vegetables
and it was really, really yummy.
It was really, really tasty.
And during that time,
we got to spend time with Jen's brothers and sisters
and their spouses and all of my nieces and nephews,
so it was a really enjoyable Saturday
evening Thanksgiving dinner.
My own family is not actually having
Thanksgiving dinner until next weekend.
We've delayed it by one week,
so we are going to get together this coming
weekend and have a Thanksgiving dinner.
And we'll have the same kind of dinner.
We'll probably go to my sister's house.
Thanksgiving in Canada though is a little earlier
than Thanksgiving in the United States.
Our Thanksgiving in Canada is in October.
In the United States, Thanksgiving is in November.
So we do it just a little bit
earlier than our American cousins.
Besides spending time with family,
though, one of the things that we do during Thanksgiving
is we think about the things that we are thankful for.
We think about the things that we are grateful for.
So there are a few things that I want
to share with you that I am thankful for.
I am thankful that my heart is working really, really well.
For those of you that don't know,
about a year and a half ago,
I had heart surgery to repair a heart valve.
And I have been feeling pretty good lately.
I try to eat healthy,
I try to walk everyday,
and I feel pretty good.
So I am thankful that my heart is working well.
I am also thankful for my wife, Jen,
who some of you met in one of my livestreams.
I'll put a link up here actually to that livestream
if you're interested in watching it.
So I'm thankful that I have a really,
really beautiful, awesome, cool wife named Jen,
and I'm also very thankful for all of my five children.
There's a lot of them,
and I am thankful for each and every one of them.
I am thankful for my wife,
and I am thankful for my kids.
I'm also thankful for all of my brothers
and sisters and for my mom and for my in-laws
and all of my brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws as well,
and all of my nieces and nephews.
So I'm thankful for my heart,
I'm thankful for Jen.
I'm also thankful that my YouTube channel is doing well.
I'm just really happy and really thankful
that so many of you find these videos useful,
and that so many of you watch them.
It's just really nice for me to know that
when I spend some time making an English lesson
that so many of you who are learning English are benefiting.
So I am very thankful for all of you.
I am thankful for every single person
that has clicked that red subscribe button.
There is a lot of you now.
So thank you very much.
Please know that I am thankful,
I am very grateful that you watch my videos.
You guys are awesome.
You are just the best people in the world.
So I am thankful for that as well.
I'm thankful for many things,
I'm thankful for my job,
I'm thankful for where I live.
What I do want to say though is that my life is not perfect.
Just because I am saying and mentioning
the things I am thankful for,
it doesn't mean that I am having the perfect life.
I have my own challenges,
I'm sure you do as well.
And I would just wish for you that you can make
your way through those challenges as best as you can.
But here's the last part of the video.
I wanna know what you guys are thankful for.
I wanna know what you are grateful for.
I won't be able to respond to all of these,
but please, in the comments below,
just mention something that you are thankful for today.
You'll be watching this on Tuesday.
It won't be Thanksgiving anymore,
but I believe we can still give
thanks even if it is a day later.
So please, in the comments below,
tell me one thing that you are thankful for today.
Tell me if you are thankful for your job,
tell me if you are thankful that
because you have a really nice pet,
we have Oscar, he was around somewhere.
Oscar!
I'm not sure he wants to be in the video.
Nope, he doesn't wanna be in the video.
But maybe you are thankful that you
have a really nice dog or cat.
Maybe you have a nice family.
Again, maybe you have a nice job.
So please, in the comments below,
just mention something that you are thankful for.
Anyways, just a short video this week
on a holiday weekend from Canada.
I'm Bob, the Canadian.
I am helping you learn English.
Hopefully it's working out.
If you could give me a thumbs up,
and if you could subscribe.
If you are new here, that would be awesome.
I will be doing a livestream this coming Friday,
and I will see some of you then.
Thank you so much for watching
this video and have a great week.
