Wishing everyone a most reflective day.... While enjoying parades, sporting events, immense quantities of food.... please take time to remember the meaning, the history of this day....
Don't shop today. Use the moments with family and friends to appreciate each other, to appreciate yourself....
From www.history.com:
In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.
