Coming from the opposite side of the world who does not celebrate thanksgiving....How do you celebrate this holiday tradition in your part of the world???
I used to make my parents a turkey dinner or visit family. Guys would yell at the football on TV.

Today I'm just cleaning. I have a lot of work to do and maybe I'll do some turkey Hungry Man dinners and maybe watch Christmas with the Kranks.

I like that one.

No one who knows the true history of the first Thanksgiving can ever doubt that the Pilgrims paid a greater price for their meal than anything we ever will

I take back what I said earlier and as it turns out nothing... And it is bad.

Anyway...

When I was a kid we made turkeys out of butter on a school field trip to another school (where they made me talk to people)

Bunch of kids on a school field trip driving for maybe an hour in a heated bus all holding melted butter turkeys.

Let none have any fear . But they got a new varient of covid on the move .
No jabs for me . I GOT THE GLORIOUS LORD .

I took it, but I still have the glorious Lord. Not endorsing it and against the mandates, but the fear is gone. I'm over covid. LOL. I am so thankful for this too. And it isn't the vaccine of why I am not afraid. It is more knowing where I stand with it which is important and just being able now to rest with confident assurance that God has this in His hands.

When I think of who I am as an American, I always think of the pilgrims.

I believe the Pilgrims tied their identity to the ancient Israelites and early Christians; i.e. being Pilgrims to this world, hence their strict morality.

The story we know of the first Thanksgiving isn't true.

Gather 'round, children and I'll tell you the true story of Thanksgiving.

The harvest came about by prayer and fasting.

@Hidden In Him This talks some about what you're talking about.

Interesting, we are reading the book about Thanksgiving on pages 479-485: Holiday Symbols 1998 by Sue Ellen Thompson, ISBN 0-7808-0072-9

Love always, Walter and Debbie

Being thankful to God for his mercy and amazing grace is so needed in our society today. I am so thankful for my family and my friends. I am thankful for Christ's work on the cross, salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. I am thankful for the food on our tables and for the ability to work and be provided for. I am thankful for this forum and the many souls I have met here through the years. Glory to God. Thank you Jesus! 14kli1f.gif 34y42t5.gif
