The truth about the American Thanksgiving

I had mine on the top side of a serving platter. Then I had it from a Tupperware container. The ugly part I hung in the back yard from a bungee cord so the neighborhood cats could feast on the remains. Oddly, no Native Americans were part of it. Maybe next year.

 

What is the purpose of posting this thread?

 

To point out the origin of this holiday that the masses celebrate blindly

 

I learned something new today and I'm going to let the whole world know about it!

 

Your Gay ? got news for you mate we knew
Only kidding !

 

And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life.+ The dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds.+ 13 And the sea gave up the dead in it, and death and the Grave* gave up the dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds.+ 14 And death and the Grave* were hurled into the lake of fire.+ This means the second death,+ the lake of fire.+ 15 Furthermore, whoever was not found written in the book of life+ was hurled into the lake of fire.+

 

And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his army but prevailed not. Neither was their place found any more on heaven! And the great dragon was cast out. That old serpent call the Devil and Satan, he was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him!

Better to reign in Hell!

 

Bastard sons beget your cunting daughters,
Promiscuous mothers with your incestuous fathers.
Engreat souls condemned for all eternity,
Sustained by immoral observance a domineering deity.
Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust.

 

Hallefucking lujah

"At Tragic Heights"

And the first went and poured the vial upon the earth
And there fell a grievous sore upon the men
Which had the mark of the beast

And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea
And it became as the blood of a dead man
And every living soul died in the sea
It is done

And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun
And power was given unto him to scorch men with fire

And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air
And there came a great voice
Out the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, ?It is done?
It is done

At tragic heights, a failure pure
Surrender to nothing but the truth
Fall now, endlessly into the ashes
And dare to know

At tragic heights
She hangs from the stars
A requiem played
In a broken heart

At tragic days, the weight of truth
Trust no one but your own blood
Shed now, eternally into the hearts
Then don't be cruel

At tragic heights
She hangs from the stars
A requiem played
In a broken heart

At tragic heights
She hangs from the stars
A requiem played
In a broken heart

And the first went and poured the vial upon the earth
And there fell a grievous sore upon the men
Which had the mark of the beast

And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea
And it became as the blood of a dead man
And every living soul died in the sea

The stars are born
All has begun
The shadow sun
Delirium

At tragic heights
She hangs from the stars
A requiem played
In a broken heart

At tragic heights
She hangs from the stars
A requiem played
In a rotten heart

 

so now its a post crappy music thread?



the new smileys suck

 

Thanksgiving (Canada) - Wikipedia


Traditional celebration[edit]
As a liturgical festival, Thanksgiving corresponds to the English and continental European harvest festival, with churches decorated with cornucopias, pumpkins, corn, wheat sheaves, and other harvest bounty. English and European harvest hymns are sung on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend.

While the actual Thanksgiving holiday is on a Monday, Canadians may gather for their Thanksgiving feast on any day during the long weekend. Foods traditionally served at Thanksgiving include roasted turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, sweet corn, various autumn vegetables (mainly various kinds of squashes but also Brussels sprouts), and pumpkin pie. Baked ham and apple pie are also fairly common, and various regional dishes and desserts may also be served, including salmon, wild game, butter tarts, and Nanaimo bars.

In Canadian football, the Canadian Football League holds a nationally televised doubleheader, the Thanksgiving Day Classic. It is one of two weeks in which the league plays on Monday afternoons, the other being the Labour Day Classic. Unlike the Labour Day games, the teams that play on the Thanksgiving Day Classic vary each year; the Montreal Alouettes have traditionally held permanent hosting of the Thanksgiving games in recent years.

Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest holds a Thanksgiving parade on the holiday; it is broadcast on CTV on tape-delay. The parade consists of floats, civic figures in the region, local performance troupes and marching bands.[10]

Canadian Thanksgiving coincides with the observance in the United States of Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day and has done so since the US implemented the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1971 (most countries in the Western Hemisphere fix Columbus Day to October 12). As such, American towns with high levels of Canadian tourism will often hold their fall festivals over Thanksgiving/Columbus Day weekend, in part to draw and accommodate Canadian tourists; Ellicottville, New York's Fall Festival has been identified as an "annual pilgrimage" for Canadians.[11] Border towns also often experience an uptick in shoppers at grocery stores, as Canadian shoppers take advantage of lower sales taxes and commodity prices in the United States over the long holiday.[12] The U.S. also has its own Thanksgiving, but on the fourth Thursday in November.

History[edit]

Canadian troops attend a Thanksgiving service in the bombed-out Cambrai Cathedral, in France in October 1918
According to some historians, the first celebration of Thanksgiving in North America occurred during the 1578 voyage of Martin Frobisher from England, in search of the Northwest Passage.[2] His third voyage, to the Frobisher Bay area of Baffin Island in the present Canadian Territory of Nunavut, set out with the intention of starting a small settlement. His fleet of fifteen ships was outfitted with men, materials, and provisions. However, the loss of one of his ships through contact with ice, along with many of the building materials, was to prevent him from doing so. The expedition was plagued by ice and freak storms, which at times scattered the fleet; on meeting again at their anchorage in Frobisher Bay, "... Mayster Wolfall, a learned man, appointed by Her Majesty's Counsel to be their minister and preacher, made unto them a godly sermon, exhorting them especially to be thankful to God for their strange and miraculous deliverance in those so dangerous places ...". They celebrated Communion and "The celebration of divine mystery was the first sign, scale, and confirmation of Christ's name, death and passion ever known in all these quarters."[13] (The notion of Frobisher's service being first on the continent has come into dispute, as Spaniards conducted similar services in Spanish North America during the mid-16th century, decades before Frobisher's arrival.[14][15])

Years later, French settlers, having crossed the ocean and arrived in Canada with explorer Samuel de Champlain, from 1604, also held feasts of thanks. They even formed the Order of Good Cheer and held feasts with their First Nations neighbours, at which food was shared.

After the Seven Years' War ended in 1763, with New France handed over to the British, the citizens of Halifax held a special day of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving days were observed beginning in 1799 but did not occur every year.[16]

During and after the American Revolution, American refugees who remained loyal to Great Britain moved from the newly independent United States to Canada. They brought the customs and practices of the American Thanksgiving to Canada, such as the turkey, pumpkin, and squash.[17]

Lower Canada and Upper Canada observed Thanksgiving on different dates; for example, in 1816 both celebrated Thanksgiving for the termination of the war of 1812 between France, the U.S. and Great Britain, with Lower Canada marking the day on May 21 and Upper Canada on June 18.[16] In 1838, Lower Canada used Thanksgiving to celebrate the end of the Lower Canada Rebellion.[16] Following the rebellions, the two Canadas were merged into a united Province of Canada, which observed Thanksgiving six times from 1850 to 1865.[16] During this period, Thanksgiving was a solemn, mid-week celebration.[18]

The first Thanksgiving Day after Canadian Confederation was observed as a civic holiday on April 5, 1872, to celebrate the recovery of the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) from a serious illness.[19]

For many years before it was declared a national holiday in 1879, Thanksgiving was celebrated in either late October or early November. From 1879 onward, Thanksgiving Day has been observed every year, the date initially being a Thursday in November.[20] After World War I, an amendment to the Armistice Day Act established that Armistice Day and Thanksgiving would, starting in 1921, both be celebrated on the Monday of the week in which November 11 occurred.[19] Ten years later, in 1931, the two days became separate holidays, and Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day. From 1931 to 1957, the date was set by proclamation, generally falling on the second Monday in October, except for 1935, when it was moved due to a general election.[16][19] In 1957, Parliament fixed Thanksgiving as the second Monday in October.[19]The theme of the Thanksgiving holiday also changed each year to reflect an important event to be thankful for. In its early years it was for an abundant harvest and occasionally for a special anniversary.[16]
