Our Day Of Thanks
Today isn’t a day for discussing world events. Today we give thanks for our homes and our freedom, the food on our plate and whatever prosperity we may have. Some of us have a great deal to be thankful for and some of us have close to nothing. I can only say to those who have close to nothing, you should still be grateful for the little you have because the chance is very high that anywhere else but America you wouldn’t even have life any longer, considering your current problems. Here, you can rise up again if you try. We make our own beds in America and if we lose our way, at least we don’t have our heads or hands removed for our trespasses.
We guard and maintain our freedom and the prosperity that it generates more by loving and respecting it than by taking it for granted. If you’re a religious person, at the dinner table today, consider adding to your prayer the hope that our leaders will be reminded on this day that our Constitution needs to be protected if our nation, and our freedom, is to endure.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, this is a day for us to count our blessings and not a day for politics.
Blessed Thanksgiving to you.

Blessed Thanksgiving to you all, fellows.
As far as I concerned, the Thanksgiving is the celebration with the which the colonists English of the ship Mayflower thanked the native American Indians help them in the first harvests after its arrival to America. Is it correct?

Pretty much, Ernesto. They shared their harvest with the nearby Indians who had helped them through their first year, and expressed thanks to God and their fellow man for their successful new life in the New World. I’m proud to say that one of my many-times-great-grandfathers was at that meal.
