I wouldn't be offended if one of my American cousins came here to stay for a visit and wanted a turkey dinner and whatnot on Nov. 25. (I love food lol) I think I'd be a bit miffed if I was visiting my cousin and they were offended because I wanted to share a Canadian thanksgiving with them.
Should I be offended
- Thread starter nickers22
- Start date
Maybe I missed something along the way, but denim and plaid to me only describes a cowboy, and the u.s. cowboys look the same, so????????
I would have a hard time to find 'a canadian' look for a costume party,
we don't walk around in costumes as far as I know.
Wear a toque and mukluks maybe? lol Or wear a polar bear costume? Arctic fox? Snowy owl?

Oh yeah, I forgot that they think we are all living in igloos and wear hooded parkas.
Guess I better buy one, parka that is, it'll have to be a 'fake' igloo, styrofoam
maybe?
Should we get started on 'what we would wear' ,dressing like a u.s. person
at a costume party, where do we begin.
Guys could wear T-string bikini bottoms like some in California do. *shivers at the thought of visible hairy buttcracks*
It's not the sharing that is offensive. It's the implication that Canadians all walk around in plaid shirts and jeans. I don't think the girl is talking about cowboy wear. She means the flannel work shirts.
I came up there to visit a very good friend over the 4th of July and he had fireworks with the neighbors for me.
It's all in FUN as a Parody for a Party! Not all Mexicans wear Sombreros and eat
Taco's...but if that was the theme of the Party...I'd put on my Sombrero and grab
my Tequila and have a great time. Ariba! :lol::lol::lol:
If you where to have a Party where your group would dress like Americans, tell
them to pick one of the characters in the picture below...as a Parody....
....and then you grab your assless chaps and a bottle of Jim Beam and you have
a great time. Yehaw!
I hit a big Redneck Party (The Redneck Games) every year. We know that not
all Rednecks (& we're all a little Redneck now, aren't we?) dress like this, but it's
a Party, so you get in character and your bottle with three XXX's on it and go nuts,
and have a great time!!! (Insert Rebel Yell here 8O) :lol::lol::lol:
You can start being offended if she takes your American flag down and raises the Canuck flag to replace it. Otherwise, chill and have fun and enjoy dinner.
BTW, don't Americans don't wear denim and plaid?
My niece married a sheep farmer and I showed up to a Halloween part in something very similar to this.
He is English and I did impressions of him all night. He thought it was hilarious. It did make it hard to mingle even though my love muffin wasn't as big as this one.
Sorry Ron. I still can't agree. I know - I'm a big party pooper but it's Thanksgiving she is celebrating. Why not do it at Halloween or someone's birthday (even Canada Day would have been okay). Thanksgiving to me is a little more special than that. It's a day we spend together as a family. We do the whole turkey dinner bit. We used to dress up (really dress up - not costume dress up)and now we just dress casual but it's more like Christmas Dinner without the bad weather.
