About this word search
Canadian Thanksgiving falls on the second Monday of October, but plenty of families sit down to the big meal on the Sunday, or on whichever day of the long weekend suits the whole crowd. Then come the leftovers, which some people look forward to more than the dinner itself.
Pumpkin pie and Long weekend each appear as one unbroken string of letters, since the spaces are dropped in the grid. Nothing reads in reverse, though diagonals are allowed. Look for the W of Wishbone and the double r in Cranberry, two details that are easier to spot than a common vowel.
The Wishbone has its own small tradition: two people pull on it and whoever ends up with the longer piece gets to make a wish. It makes a good prize for the first person at the table to finish the puzzle.
