    I know most of us think of summer as the best time ofyear, but for me I love the fall. Its a time of year thatbrings change and the start of the Holliday Season.Like most Ontarians I hate to let go of the warm days ofsummer with the longer days and a tone of outdoor fun tobe had by all. Te fall is just as much fun with all the localfairs and the smell in the air of leaves turning, it is a magical thing. In my home there arehomemade soups and a hot chocolate always nearby as the nights cool down. Now add inHalloween and Tanksgiving and I for one am addicted to the buzz of kids back to schooland the rush of colour all around me.

    Fall brings us all together as we start the move to winter. Bringing your family closer toyour community is a big part of why we do this magazine and with the change in weather;it should be the same with people. If you have a little extra in your budget you might wantto donate something back to you local food bank or give a helping hand to someone who isnot as fortunate as yourself.

    We would like to welcome a new sales managers on board with O.U.R. Magazine foreveryday living. Dave Dinan as market manager for Peterborough joins the team forthat territory.

    Now... On to the best part of season... HALLOWEEN. It might seem like a long way obut the dress up starts sooner than you might think. As adults some of us still dress up andhead out to enjoy a night of fun. Be sure you plan your costume early so that you are notle out of the fun. Remember, that all the good stu goes fast for the little ones and youmight end up wearing a bed sheet if you dont plan ahead. Tis scary night is fun for all!

    Tanksgiving is a feast of food, family and friends. We have some great suggestion on howto take old recipes and make them new. All of us at O.U.R Magazine for Everyday Living

    wish you a great fall and look forward to your comments and readership for our specialHOLIDAY ISSUE in November.

    Enjoy!

    As a parent I look forward to the beginning of the school year for manyreasons. One, I get back to a schedule of some sorts and I nd myself with a bitof spare time to attend to the projects I seem to have le at the side of the roadduring the long summers days spent with the kids. Te second is, I have some timto plan out the upcoming season with Halloween just around the corner and theTanksgiving dinner I have all planned out in my head.

    Like most other parents, time is the key factor on what really gets done around thouse and what really happens, so I wanted to share a few great tips on how to satime and money as I have little of either of them to spare. So on with the ips aricks for Halloween.

    Te rst tip for saving money is, use what you have and throw away anything youhave not used in two or more years. I had a real problem with holding on the evecute little dress or costume I had made or pick up as my children have grown. Yomight ask why? Te simple answer is, I wanted to hold on a bit longer and kepttelling others that I might have grandchildren one day who might benet fromall my hard work... Te truth I like to horde my holiday treasures. I now reuseeverything I can and make the most of what I have. Last year I did somethingothers might think was a bit strange. I hauled out all my Halloween bins and fouabout twenty costumes and it so happens that my youngest child wanted to be a that year so I did something new. I created a dress up zoo. I found as many stueanimals I had around the house and even got a few from the local thri store anddressed them all up in all the costumes I had. Well the eect was outstanding.Te kids loved the dress up ZOO Idea and to add a bit of scary, I picked up foupackages of fake webbing and some cool lights at the dollar store. So we made thold costumes new by making the haunted zoo.

    I also would like to suggest that if you live in or near thecounty, try an aernoon out. aking a drive down old roadsto see what Mother Nature has to oer. By using what is innature like, old branches and dried grass, you can make aspooking display that will bring joy to all. Dried leafs alsomake a great window display with removable tape. Telook of falling leafs outside ads a touch of class to the glassmaking the whole thing seem like a real eort.

    Te Candy should be simple and avoid homemade goodiesunless it is for family and friends. You might want to runout to Wal-Mart, but try your local bulk food store forsome great treats and even more for your dollar. You will bevery surprised to nd that this is cheaper and the candy isthe same just at a lower price.

    You will have to spend a bit more money when it comes totodays kids and what they want to dress up in. Tis year thebig ones to buy are Tor, Captain America, Harry Potterand the always popular ransformers. I suggest gettingthem early as they sell out fast. Tis will avoid the tears andtantrums of late costume shopping as I once found out theyear every child wanted to be the magic wielding HarryPotter and I was late to the game and learned my lesson.

    Have a spooky Halloween and as always SAFY FIRS!

    20/40

    By Tom NormanOnce a year we all gather around a table and share a meal. Tat is the simplest description I have for

    Tanksgiving. In our home of many, we have lost the real meaning of Tanksgiving as we ght over the V,football or cartoons for the kids, and the universal argument concerning white meat verses dark meat, overwhich is better and why the gravy never tasted the same.

    In Canada we enjoy so many freedoms and rights other cultures never inherently have or get. I ask you...why even bother with this holiday if we cannot seem to be thankful? I am not a political person in anyway,nor do I feel akin to any social network that denes me as a person. I simply dont have a point of referencefor thanksgiving other than a day o work and a good meal. So whats wrong with that?

    I seem to view life as something that is owed to me. I have recently found many reasons why this iswrong. I had le behind the very truth of what being thankful is and giving to other does.

    Having a family and a job might seem like the dream life. What if you lost your job or your family?Who are you then? By the very denition of society you are down and out. In North America, Canadianshave been somewhat lucky not to have the economic decline the U.S. has had over the past 4 years but wehave had a lot of un-employment that we cannot ignore. I have a friend that has a great education and a wife

    with a two year old at home who lost his job in the fall of 2010. He has been looking for work for a year nowand the real facts of life are starting to kick in. Te house sold at 19% less the value at time of purchase, nosavings le and an unnished basement to call home.

    Now you might all say the same thing I did at the start He should take whatever job he can! Geta job at a fast food place or gas station right? It is never that easy. You see, he had a very good job andthe truth is he is over qualied to work outside of his educated eld of work and has never been calledback or interviewed for a position in lesser job opportunity. So what happens now? Welfare, not eligible,employment insurance running out...gone and the holidays are fast approaching.

    I was completely wrapped up in my life until a friend in common told me the depths of the situation andthe hardship my friend was going through. Tat was the moment I became thankful and that was the verymoment I start to give back. Yes this sounds like the age old story of the Grinch or Scrooge, but it was truly

    an eye opener for me. I was blind to others in need and not everyone can save themselves. I started small. Idropped o some money with the words GIF on the envelope. I then started to network in my job placeto see what was open and set up an interview. I then called another friend as the job wasnt the right t withmy company and he landed the job. Now this would be the end of the story but he did something I didntexpect. I received a card in the mail and it had these words on it A donation has been made in your name tothe local food bank the amount was the very same I had placed in the envelope months ago.

    Not only did I give something, so did he and his family. I nally got that giving back can be in any wayyou want. I have learned that this year at Tanksgiving we will give thanks and give back to local charities.My family and friends are what I am thankful for. I think from now on we should all look around us andtake notice of the community we live in and say a small Tank You that we are all in this together, if youchose to be HANKFUL!

    We spent this winter very joyously and of good times, due to LOrdre de Bon emps that I established here, which each person useful for their health and more benecial than any sort of medicine twe could have used. Te Order was presented as a Chain of oce twe placed with some small ceremony, at the neck of one of our peopcharging him that day with going hunting; the next day we gave it

    another and thus consequently: all who wishedtry would do their best and bring the most beaut

    hunt: We dont nd it half bad, as well as the Indiwho were with us - Voyages of Champlain: 1613

    American thanks-giving traditions inevitably foutheir way into Canada among the men and wom who remained loyal to England and subsequemoved to Canada.

    And why do we celebrate our TanksgivingOctober, rather than in November, as the Americdo Practically-speaking, being further noour growing season ends sooner and therefour harvest season is sooner. Also, since Tanksgiving has its origins, at least partly, in

    tradition of the harvest festival, it makes sense to be timed accordin- the harvest festival is typically timed in accordance with the harvmoon, the rst full moon following the autumnal equinox.

    So this Tanksgiving, as we raise our glasses in good cheer, letalso recall the exploits of Champlain, as we decorate our houses wpumpkins and turkeys, let us also recall the conviction and sacricthe early United Empire Loyalists, and as we sit down to our feasts,or small, let us remember to give thanks to our good fortune to live country of bounty.

    By Jon Oldham

    Each year, on the second Sunday in October, Canadians celebrateTanksgiving. But to what are we giving thanks? Toughts ofTanksgiving inevitably turn to visions of pumpkin pie, fattened turkeys,tangy cranberries, over-lled cornucopias and quaint gatherings ofPilgrims thankful to have a stockpile of food to get through the winter.But beyond the greeting card trappings and stereotypes lies a historyas rich and varied as the feasts we normally associatewith the holiday.

    For starters, we all know that Americans andCanadians celebrate Tanksgiving at dierent timesbut it turns out that the dierences run deeper.

    With Tanksgiving, the Americans pay homageto the Pilgrims and the hardships they enduredestablishing their early settlements.

    In Canada, however we simply give thanks for thebounty of the fall harvest similar to the ancientEnglish and European tradition of the harvest festival.

    Te origin of Canadian thanks-giving goes back tothe days of English explorer, Martin Frobisher. In

    1578, Frobisher safely returned from an expedition in search of thenorth-west passage (no small feat since others like Hudson and Franklinwere not so lucky) and held a formal ceremony in gratitude for survivingthe long journey back to what is now Newfoundland.

    Te French explorers and early settlers also had much to be thankfulfor. Life was hard for the Europeans who were, at rst, unaccustomed tothe daunting wilderness and harsh climate of early Canada. Samuel deChamplain and his followers regularly gave thanks with huge feasts andeven formed the Order of Good Cheer (LOrdre de Bon emps) toensure that the tradition of feasting and entertainment would continue.
