With Columbus Day just around the corner, you might be wondering what you should do with yourself this long weekend. Well, don't worry, I'm here to help with a few suggestions that will not only keep you busy, but also provide for a bit of holiday fun.
- Nothing else says “Happy Columbus Day!” more than a Columbus-themed pumpkin regatta. Simply carve out three giant pumpkins and go canoeing in them. Just remember to put the fat kids in the Santa Maria pumpkin – that way your regatta will be historically accurate, with the big boat going down first...
- If you are looking for Columbus Day party favors to give away, be sure to give authentic gifts (just like the ones Columbus exchanged with the natives). Beads... parrots... and the Bubonic Plague are all great Columbus Day gift ideas.
- Columbus Day is also a great time for pot luck dinners! Let's face it, Columbus was an Italian man, sailing on a Spanish ship, to the East Indies, that landed in the Caribbean – that's a pretty eclectic combination of foods, right there. So you might as well host a pot luck and see how many different cuisines you can eat all at once...
- And if all else fails, you can always roast yourself a turkey, mash some potatoes, and break out the cranberry jelly. After all, today is also Canadian Thanksgiving!
Have a great three-day weekend, everybody!
