Just found this one! Happy Canada Day Eh Canadian Holiday Celebrated In Traditional Winter Style Canadians celebrate Canada Day with warm tradition. CANADA CITY-- It's July 1st, and once again Canadians are enjoying the long weekend in celebration of Canada Day, the national holiday recognizing the anniversary of Canada's existence. While most of the nation is still covered in snow and ice, Canadians use this to their advantage, as there is limited need for coolers, ice packs, and other primitive refrigeration for beveraging chilling purposes. Canadians can simply stick their cans of Molson Canadian in the nearest patch of snow. In downtown Canada City, citizens will be participating in traditional festivities, including ice sculpting, snow castle building, and three-legged dogsled racing. Delicious flavoured snow-cones, icicles, and other frozen treats will be consumed, with the usual uncomfortable, yet tolerable ice-cream headaches to follow. From Victoria to Iqaluit, Canadian kids will be painting their faces with red maple leafs (although blue in Toronto), except in those cities like Victoria and Iqaluit, where the fierce winter winds will force the kids to keep wearing their balaclavas, ski masks, and face parkas. Canadians love their alcoholic spirits, although many don't really believe in ghosts. All Canada Day weekend long, many adults will be drinking the "nectar of the gods", although most will prefer to simply drink beer or other alcoholic beverages. In the evening, Canadians will spark up...their fireworks and light up...the Northern skies. Although in the far North, Northwest and Yukon Territories residents will enjoy their own natural fireworks, the Aurora Borealis, which is Greek for "nice lights, eh." While global warming may affect these wonderful national traditions in the future, this year bundled Canadians will still be able to appreciate their festive celebrations in grand, warm Canadian style. Dressed in their finest summer sweaters and their snug summer toques, Canadians will party like there's no tomorrow, except there will be, and it will be called July the 2nd. Happy Birthday Canada The funny part is, I know guys that wear summer toques! DONATE TO SETI ID: 597151 ·
