Leviosaa ::: Favorites  2007-11-22 12:58:44 it's a day when we americans celebrate a day of "giving" between the original american settlers and their american indian friends-- a day when there was supposedly a huge feast. many are doubtful that this ever even happened in american history, but nonetheless, we americans are "fat" and take any excuse to chow down gluttinish-like. we eat turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatos, stuffing, pumpkin pie etc. until we basically pass out in our chairs. __________________________________________________
Tiednbound ::: Favorites  2007-11-22 13:04:09 Although most decoration today depicts the first Pilgrim Thanksgiving, the day was celebrated in the Americas for at least a century beforehand as a celebration of the end of the harvest season. By convention today, it is the forth Thursday in November. __________________________________________________

unclesaboin ::: Favorites  2007-11-22 14:05:37 For some reason, Canada has it at a different time. We've already had our thanksgiving. I wonder why that is. __________________________________________________
Moony97145 ::: Favorites  2007-11-22 14:37:02 Thanksgiving is basically about thanking God or whoever you worship, or each other for everything that's happened that was good in your life. Usually celebrated by a meal or a party of some sort. More commonly, the first Thanksgiving were the newcomers to America and the Native Americans celebrating their peace, and the Pilgrims thanking them for teaching them the way of America. Before the Pilgrims killed them. That's it. Giving thanks to God, supposedly, family, each other and ourselves. __________________________________________________

JumppStart ::: Favorites  2007-11-22 14:42:16 Yeah, basically it was supposed to be based on the feast that the pilgrims who came off the Mayflower and the Native Americans shared upon washing up in Plymouth Massachusetts. I don't really know why we still celebrate it since it was basically the beginning of us fucking over the natives, but hey! I guess it was seen as the start of a new country by the settlers. And like Tiednbound said, it was already celebrated by the indians before we came, and we thought it was cool, so we picked it up. __________________________________________________
JumppStart ::: Favorites  2007-11-22 14:45:31 Oh, and it has a much nicer depiction than the actual history... usually little kids in kindergarten (primary school?) make crafts and write stories about what they're thankful for. And we eat all the things that Moony97145 said as a tradition. __________________________________________________

Tiednbound ::: Favorites  2007-11-22 20:56:40 Many believe that Thanksgiving in Canada is earlier than in the USA. In reality, the Thanksgiving in Canada is a carry-over from the PREVIOUS year and the fine people in Canada are just catching up with their cousins in the lower-48. (not really, I made that up XD) __________________________________________________
