THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving the holiday that the early Indians celebrated with the Pilgrims back on Plymouth Rock is the true purpose thanksgiving is celebrated. This holiday has gone on ever since but what is the real reason for celebrating thanksgiving? To me thanksgiving is that one day to get stuffed just like the turkey does. Also it's the holiday to be around your family have a huge family dinner be thankful for your family above all else. Celebrating thanksgiving has always been a good thing for me every year me and my family always eat at my aunt’s house. Let me tell you she knows how to cook a thanksgiving meal fit for a king. Thanksgiving brings families closer say if you got in a fight with your cousin, uncle, brother, etc. No matter the circumstance thanksgiving has this way of bringing us as a people and as a family together. I'm glad that there are communities that give the poor a meal on thanksgiving. They have no home no family and deserve a meal on thanksgiving everyone does. The Indians and Pilgrims hated each in the beginning and they learned how to set aside their differences. The Indians taught the Pilgrims how to crop plants and in return the Pilgrims showed the Indians spices and wines. So this is a big example of what the meaning of thanksgiving is and this is what it means to me. Being thankful for everything you have, your life the clothes on your back your neighbors and also family. When thanksgiving comes around this is all I think about and I thank god for my accomplishments. The word thanksgiving says it all thanks for giving, so why not give someone something be happy for what you have but also share. Sharing is a big thing as well sharing with someone lets them know that you care about them. Come on if you saw someone with a big juicy turkey leg you'd want them to share. In today’s world many are greedy many only want what they want thanksgiving has this sort of magic that changes their view point and makes them give. Christmas is somewhat like this getting together with family and friends, but Christmas has a whole different meaning. Holidays over all are good things, they bring communities together and they bring out the happy person in everyone. So you won’t catch that jerk that gives you a hard day on upcoming Thanksgiving.
