TwoTone Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 ... take a moment and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Even for those who don't celebrate this particular holiday... It's good to stop and pause through out the year and count our blessings... And as corny as this may sound... I count the friends I've made here on RWG a blessing... I spent some time this evening reading through Neil's thread... And re-confirmed my own belief... That where people gather, relationships happen... You, the members here, are a great group of folks, and I for one am truly glad to be apart of this community... Thank you for all that you give... May peace & prosperity dwell among you and your familes this holiday season... Sincerely, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It celebrates Columbus landing in America (and kicking the sh!t out of the native Indians). Ok - that's a joke (the Indians part) - but it's just a day when people get together and gives "thanks" for what they have. It's also the single busiest travel day in the US. Most folks sit around and watch NFL football and have a big turkey dinner. It's not a religious day at all. And yes - they DO celebrate it in Canada - but it's in October instead.

Do Canadians have Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving was a originally a native American holiday to thank mother earth for her bounty, when many tribes would host great feasts after harvest, showcasing the many varities of foods that are granted to us by the mother. It was also used as a way to bring families and tribes together. Turkey was the main meat served, as it was the prominent bird on the north east coast of America. When the Mayflower Europeans, the Pilgrims, arrived in the Americas, not knowing how to survive here, were starving, so the natives invited them to their ThanksGiving meals, thus the tradition was passed along and became a holiday for everyone here, including Canada, where we give thanks for any blessings that life has bestowed on us, and also, as originally intended, a time for family to reunite, over a feast of Turkey and all the trimmings....
