As the holidays approach and you are making plans for all the things you want to do, remember to send all of your clients past, present and future, good wishes for Thanksgiving and then in December a general greeting for the Holidays!

While you are compiling your list, remember that we only celebrate Thanksgiving here in the States and that Canada is not part of the celebration. I remember one year when a colleague sent Thanksgiving greetings to all of his Canadian clients...oops!

And in December, remember that not everyone celebrates Christmas and some people might find it offensive to get a Christmas greeting rather than a general holiday greeting.

These are things to start thinking of and planning for now!

Thanks for the post and the good reminders!  We have a lot of Canadian clients and although they don't celebrate Thanksgiving they love to come to our traditional feast!

Hi There BarbaraJo,

 

Just to clarify, Canadians do very much celebrate Thanksgiving, just a month earlier in October. Although it is not as big a travel day as in the US it is still a very loved holiday to be with family and friends. In fact, we celebrate it now by attending the Giant Pumkin race (the 700 lb gourds are made into boats and paddled across a lake in Windsor, Nova Scotia!) and then off for a traditional overeating session with family.

 

So if you have clients who are Canadian, just remember to send your cards in time for the 2nd weekend in October!

 

All the best,

 

Dorinda MacIsaac
