Thanksgiving is a time for gathering together and paying homage to the individuals and things in our lives that we are truly grateful for. From the food that nourishes our bodies to the family members and friends that provide us with strength and guidance throughout our lives, there are plenty of reasons to give thanks.
Individuals around the nation gather together for a home cooked meal and to share their thoughts and memories with one another. This tradition first took place in 1621 at Plymouth Plantation in Massachusetts. Early colonists shared sustenance with the Native Americans that they encountered as a way of building a friendship with them. Centuries later, this “first Thanksgiving meal” remains an iconic part of the nation’s heritage and inspiration for today’s gatherings. People in Canada and the Netherlands also celebrate this holiday.
Showing gratitude for life’s blessings is an important part of Thanksgiving. That is why so many people offer praise for the things that matter most to them on the last Thursday in November. The hustle and bustle of everyday living makes it easy for people to forget about all the positive aspects of their lives. Thanksgiving is the one day out of the year where people can slow down, reflect, and be grateful for what they do have. These sentiments often include a vast spread of food and a festive gathering of people.
