Today's word of the day is  " thanksgiving "

//:  the expression of gratitude, especially to God:

 

**Quote of the day:

"As we express our gratitude we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not utter words but to live by them." - John F. Kennedy

 

Here is a little history on Thanksgiving.  Some might disagree with dates ect… Here goes.

Thanksgiving means the act of expressing or feeling thankfulness.  It can also refer to a holiday in November, the fourth Thursday, in the US or October for our Canadian family and friends. 

Thanksgiving is commonly known as a way to commemorate the cololnial pilgrims harvest meal that they shared with Wam-pan-oag Indians, who were key to the survival fo the colonists during the first year they arrived in 1620.  In 1621 (there is controversy about whether or not the meal was originally intended to be shared.)

Besides the original meal shared inm 1621, Pilgrims held their second Thankgiving in 1623 to celebrate the end of a long drought.  Additional feasts of giving thank for various reasons were also given in subsequent years.  Technically, the first official designated Thanksgiving was celebrated much later in 1789.  According to the National Archives, Congress asked President George Washington for a national day of thanksgiving.  Thursday, November 26, 1789 was, therefore, declared "Day of Publick Thanksgivin."

Thanksgiving is all about reflecting on blessings and acknowledging gratitude. After all, in President George Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation, he stated its purpose: “Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me 'to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.'”

We can all thank the "Mother of Thanksgiving," writer and editor Sarah Josepha Hale, for successfully establishing Thanksgiving as an annual national holiday. As a long-time editor of the magazine Godey's Lady Book, Hale frequently wrote about this already-popular (yet unofficial) autumn tradition. She also lobbied state and federal officials to create a "fixed, national day of thanks on the last Thursday of November."

 

Even after that first established Thanksgiving in 1789, the dates and months of subsequent Thanksgivings varied. It took almost another century for one clear date to be established. Sarah Josepha Hale wrote a letter to President Abraham Lincoln on September 28, 1863, requesting the last Thursday in November to be a day of Thanksgiving announced to the whole country. In response, President Lincoln declared on October 3 that this would, in fact, be the case. He explained that "in the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, the American people should take some time for gratitude."

We can also thank Sarah Josepha Hale for established aspect of Thanksgiving as well.  In her 1827 novel Northwood, she explained a New England Thanksgiving in great detail, including the description of a roasted turkey “placed at the head of the table.”

I hope that however you spend your Thanksgiving,  I hope that you have a happy heart and enjoy those your with.  I love you guys.
