Thanksgiving – A Turkey Dinner to Remember!

Thanksgiving is a one day festival uniting millions of American families worldwide under the prayer of giving grace for bounties received. Solemnized by a sumptuous thanksgiving dinner, where the father/eldest carves it, it is an event looked forward by all families.

My recall of this is mostly from American movies, and since it features in so many of them without a doubt one can assert that it’s an important part of USA culture. One that can be celebrated by the rest of the developed world as well, after all, shouldn’t we be happy and express a sense of gratitude for the grace the lord has showered. It’s a reminder that having a good meal with your entire family together is sometimes all that matters.  

Times in India are tough, and adopting our own version of saying thanks would be helpful. The recent move of demonetization has taught us to value every Rupee earned. Thanksgiving when we look into history seems to be having occurred during an important time when in 1621 religious refugees known as the Pilgrims invited the local Indians to supper to celebrate a successful harvest. Well that set the ball rolling, and it has continued since then. Point to be noted Turkey was not on the menu, food just simple geese, lobster and deer.

Another birdie told me that Thanksgiving is even more popular than Christmas and we during the 12 day period that it is being celebrated we can see lots of people travelling nationwide just to be with their families. I believe they have something similar in china, pls. tell me the name if you recall it.

That’s all from me

Cheers
