Here's my favourite version of the song that we sang in class today. This was my grandmother's favourite song; she would sing it to my dad when he was a little boy. Now I sing it to my boys when they are in bed or when they feel sick. Enjoy!

Black Friday in the United States
Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October, and the Americans celebrate it on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving earlier than Americans because the growing season is shorter in Canada, and the harvest comes earlier.
Black Friday is the Friday after American Thanksgiving. It's the biggest shopping day in the States. Click on the link to see what happens on that day.
