When the Pilgrims came over from England they were greeted by American Indians who shared a great feast with them. We celebrate this feast every year the 4th Thursday in November. It is just a special time with friends and relatives-with too much food but much joy. No presents are exchanged, just love!

You can watch it through the Earthcam site...granted it is just images...no audio...it is better than nothing...I have been living in Europe for almost 10 years...so I know the feeling of missing the parade. Here is the link: http://www.earthcam.com/events/thanksgiving/

The Lions have played on Thanksgiving day more than any other NFL team (65 games), dating to 1934. Dallas has played in 37 contests since 1966. More on the history of Detroit and their holiday tradition can be found on the Lions' official site. Scores from every Thanksgiving game are also available.\n\nI am not a Lions fan. This is a team with 1 playoff win since 1958! \n\nBut for some of those dedicated souls out there, this is the highlight of their season.  Sure, I'd prefer seeing some of the better teams rotate this game or even better, the addition of an evening game with some meaning. However, being the NFL fan that I am and realizing the importance of tradition, I don't believe that changing it at this point would be much of a benefit.\n\nPeople in Detroit plan their Thanksgiving around the football game, or at least I am led to believe this being from Wisconsin. It would take a while for another city and team to make that happen, should the game be taken away from the Lions. I hope it doesn't happen. I personally like tradtion.

The roots of this holiday go as far back as 1621 when the Pilgrims who arrived in the New World from England celebrated a particularly bountiful harvest following a very harsh winter earlier in the year.  \n\nThanksgiving was originally intended to be just that – a day of giving thanks for all that we have been blessed with:  homes to shelter us, food to sustain us, friends and family to support us, and the freedom to worship and live in any way that we might choose.   I could tell you that this warm and fuzzy sentimental tradition is still carried out today, but I would be lying.  Thanksgiving has become all about the food, and it is viewed as the final hurdle we must cross in order to unabashedly start reveling in the Christmas season. \n\nThe Pilgrims were members of the English Separatist Church, and sailed to Holland in order to flee from religious persecution.  They did experience more religious freedom while there, but became disillusioned with the Dutch way of life, viewing their way of living as ungodly.  Eventually, the Pilgrims managed to strike up a deal with a London stock company, who helped to finance this pilgrimage to America.  Oddly enough, only about one-third of those aboard the ship (for those of you who don’t know it was called the Mayflower) were actually religious Puritans.  The remainder of the men on board were hired by the stock company to protect their interests.  \n\nSo as the story goes, the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620.  The Pilgrims were unprepared for the harsh New England winter that lay ahead of them, and by the following fall 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower had perished.  However, the harvest of 1621 was bountiful, and the Pilgrims decided to celebrate with a feast, including the Indians who had helped them to survive through that first year.  The feast lasted for three days, and did not include the traditional items we think of when we think of Thanksgiving dinner today.  The meal included wild duck and geese, venison, boiled pumpkin, fish, berries, clams, lobster, dried fruit, and watercress.  \n\nThanksgiving was celebrated off and on over the next few hundred years until it was finally established as a legal holiday by Congress to be celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November every year in 1941.

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks (traditionally to God) at the close of the harvest season. In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. In Canada, it is celebrated on the second Monday in October. In the United Kingdom, Thanksgiving is another name for the Harvest festival, held in churches across the land on a relevant Sunday to mark the end of the local harvest. This tradition was taken to North America by early settlers.

Thanksgiving could be a negative experience as you suggest, but I think you are better served by taking a more positive approach:  use the day to truly appreciate all the good things in your life.  Be thankful for family, friends, good health and anything else you cherish.  Enjoy the game.\n\ngobble gobble

I didn't even know there was such a thing as Thanksgiving music.\n\nYes, the radio station I listen to has started to play Christmas music ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT!  I wish they would do this AFTER Thanksgiving.  \n\nI guess I will listen to my classical music station and pull out my CDs for now. \n\nIt's a little too soon for me.

My Thanksgiving Day is full of so many of life's blessings -- and I'm not speaking those of monetary value -- that I'm grateful just to be there with my husband, mom and her husband and sister.  I say all my thank you's to my Higher Power before I embark on my journey to fill my 3 day dietary quota and when we're all there, you can bet I soak up every minute of being there in one piece and you're damn right--be thankful people!  And I'll be glad to watch whatever football game is on because I have terrible reception on my home TV.  :)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! SOMEBODY IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO SPEAK OUT IN TRUTH! You are 100% CORRECT! ALL of the so-called "holidays"(holydays) were NEVER commanded in the Bible-EVER!!! Jeremiah Chapter 10 directly mentions a "christmas tree" as an IDOL! Astarte (Easter) is mentioned many times in the Old Testament as an ABOMINATION TO GOD!!! Tammuz is also in the Old Testament! And not in a good way! People simply follow what the "crowd" says to follow! DOES THAT MAKE IT RIGHT??? Borrowing Pagan traditions and somehow transforming them into "holy days" is unacceptable worship to GOD! DON'T BELIEVE A NOBODY LIKE ME--READ YOUR BIBLE!!! Please see for yourself! Then you will know what God REALLY feels about man-made traditions.....
