Why do you give thanks at all on Thanksgiving?\nAll that happened was Indian Genocide after they saved the Pilgrims Butts from starving?\nShame on your silly hypocritical Holiday. Bush should let One Soldier  NOTgo to Iraq. He spared a turkey from the slaughter didnt he? Why not a Human?\nGive me a break, America does not need a reason to get fatter than they already are!\n\nGotta love the food though. That you should eat every day!!!:)

It is always a priviledge to be able to sit down and have a nice meal with family or alone, and I love to thank Our Lord, for the many blessings, and my prayer is something like this, Father, I thank you for our blessings that You have bestowed upon us this day, I thank you for this food that it will nourish our bodies, so that we may be better able to serve you, we thank you and ask your soverign protection upon all of our troops all over the world and may they be comforted in You Lord. In Jesus Name we pray.\nI feel we are speaking directly to the Lord so each time we pray our words may convey other prayer requests, but mainly we just want to Thank Him for His Love.

First of all the word Thanks giving came about when the pilgrims\nand indians came together and feast in peace and harmony. That is why we feast every year to remember not only what we are thankful for but to remember those who created this wonderful holiday!

Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day when family gather with friends and strangers.  We celebrate what we are thankful for and mostly for the freedom that our forefathers fought so hard for. It is a tradition in my family that after the blessing on the food, everyone gets to say 1 thing they are thankful for and they can't repeat a response that another has already made.  We start with the youngest and move to the oldest. It builds awareness in our family of what we are grateful for.

I celebrate thanksgiving to \n1. Spend time with my family\n2. To look back at my life and realize how lucky I am to be able to have a feast every year while some people are scrounging for food.\n3. To give thanks for what I have and to pray that, at least that one day, The people who aren't as lucky find some hapiness

Because we have so much. We never take the time to Thank God for it all. We never relize what something means to us until we loose it. Don't take Life For granted.

I'm not American either, but I'll explain anyways.\nThanks giving is the day that the Americans give thanks.\nIt dates back from the time the first English people (or the pilgrims) who came to America on the 'Mayflower' and got on land on Plymouth. Those pilgrims were having problems to survive, due to the irregular harsh weather and were dying.\nThey met with a few native americans, who helped them out and thought them how to grow harvest like corn, beans ect.\nAnd because of that, the pilgrims were grateful and in this same time, they decided to make a feast, thanking God and the native Americans for all they got.\nAnd that's Thanksgiving.\nHope that helps!!
