I'm not exactly sure of the history behind it, but I'm assuming that it's a similar tale as how Thanksgiving in America came to be. Both are celebrated almost exactly the same way...just six weeks apart.

The reason we celebrate in October is because of climate...as you know, by late November, we're buried in ice and snow , so we have to harvest our stuff earlier so that it doesn't go bad, or get destroyed, or all the wonderful stuff like that.
