Thanksgiving Day is America is one of the most misunderstood holidays of all the holidays we celebrate. It is normally a time to take off of work and be with family, prepare a feast of turkey, dressing, and all the other dishes that people enjoy on Thanksgiving, and then bring family and friends together to celebrate.
According to Wikipedia it was celebrated sometime around 1621 and was a celebration of thanks to the Lord God that had given them a bountiful harvest (

We enjoy thanksgiving as a time to celebrate the blessings that God has given us and to enjoy time with friends and family. It is not always a simple thing, but it usually ends up being a fun celebration.
I am disappointed in how so many people try to skew the thanksgiving celebration to something about pooling resources to survive. It by no means did not celebrate that, since the early forms of socialism in the North America colonies failed miserably. Socialism is a plague that is spreading through our country and leading us down a path of destruction, which is hugely disappointing to me.
Anyways, I am thankful for the blessings I and my family enjoy, and hope that you enjoy this holiday. Thanks!
