View Profile History	WhaThanksgiving means to all of you my dear International brothers & sisters? Posted : 14 Nov, 2010 02:28 PM Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US the 4th Thursday in November. (In Cananda it's celebrated in October) It originated in 1621 beween the Pilgrims and the Indians to celebrate the harvest. Today it's celebrated to give thanks to the Lord for our food, family, and friends. No gifts are exchanged, most families typically gather to enjoy a traditional meal of turkey (or ham), dressing, (or stuffing), giblet gravy, cranberry sauce, potatoes, or what ever is the main local dish. Many folks (myself included) usually gorge themselves into oblivion and settle down to enjoy a football game or two. Then we go back for "seconds" and start again! Post Reply

It's really lost it's meaning so far as Pilgrims and Indians go. Don't get me started on the Native American Indian and the land that was taken from them etc.. It's really just a reason for family to get together and the theme is thankfulness. We pause and reflect on how God has blessed us spiritually (for those who are Christian) and blessed us materially. Even those who are poor here are blessed. The opportunity to grow beyond your current status is boundless and we are blessed to be here. :dancingp: Post Reply
