Do Jewish people celebrate Easter? It's about tradition and culture. Thanksgiving wasn't about Indians. It was about being thankful to God for what you have. What you are thinking of was the FIRST Thanksgiving.
hehe.... i cant stand what thanksgiving reminds me of if i really think about it. but i love getting together with my family and having a wonderful meal so yeah, ill take it with a smile.
I think modern Thanksgiving is just a holiday for family members who do not see one another or talk to one another or care about one another, in so to get our 'dysfunctional family's' all together in one house or place, and make like a 'trial run' over how Christmas is going to be, or use the holiday as a way to make coming for Christmas excusable since showed up for Thanksgiving. Either way it is just a crock. I say we should try and be thankfull every day lmao, and this is just a big holiday for corporate retailers and dysfunctional family's like my own family.
it's an excuse to have friends over for turkey. Ok, for me it's mostly an excuse to cook turkey, mmmmm turkey. Then again, thanksgiving is in october up here nowadays it's mostly about the food
long ago when I was little I asked my hippy dad on thanksgiving what thanksgiving was and he told me it was a day where you ate a lot, and when I asked why i got a couple days off school he told those days were for recovering from eating too much on thanksgiving.
Usually when it comes to holidays, some people would say I'm "scrooge". But give me any excuse to pig out on yams, stuffing & pumpkin pie and I'm fine. But speaking of the 1st Thanksgiving...Has anyone ever seen that little famous "Plimouth Rock" what a joke! I went with my daughter's class trip to see it and some replica of the Mayflower yrs ago.
yea the cooking vast heaps of food part is cool ....ive seen plymouth rock ....cape cod was a forrest 500 years ago .....its a dessert now ....pilgrims suck .!!
yes, i've seen plymouth rock...its a rock...i read somewhere that someone is selling a supposedly chipped off piece of plymouth rock online....ahahahaha
ahahahahahaha...oh man makno, ahahahahahaha. i never thought plymouth rock was a big deal when we took class trips there. the mayflower and what not, thats different, but a rock. come on, i'd rather skip slivers of it in the water than just look at it.
i dont think any of my school excursions could beat this rock viewing one you guys are talking about. people here dont celebrate thanksgiving coz its now our history. but we make a roast chicken and eat it on the day. mainly coz my mums american. but its all about the chicken for me.
I wouldn't doubt that they are trying to sell a piece of Plymouth rock. It used to be right out in the open and people used to chip away at it to get pieces of it. Now it's tiny and in this big iron cage thing. Lame.
well, i know some who do. they're christians and have taken the day to be something all their own. despite it's historical meaning, there's those who believe it's a good idea anyway to set aside a day to give thanks for what they have and come together as a family. it makes it easier to use that day since it's a federal holiday. though the ones i know eat mutton.
