Defining Thanksgiving through headlines

Interested to see how many ways Thanksgiving could count as a news story, I set out to compile a list of headlines written this weekend about the turkey gobbling festivity. What I didn’t expect to find is how each headline seems to define the holiday in some way or another too.

To accompany your leftovers, I present to you my list:

“Stores open and closed on Thanksgiving Monday in Canada” – Business Review Canada

“Thanksgiving Surprise – A dog who raises money as an official volunteer with BC SPCA” – The Vancouver Sun

“Thanksgiving – as Canadian as pirates” – Winnipeg Free Press

“A Thanksgiving travesty” – Winnipeg Sun

“10 ways to add meaning to Thanksgiving” – Winnipeg Sun
