It is not. In almost every European nation, there is some sort of "Thanksgiving" festival (for the harvest, for the year, whatever) and it is just hyped as something the white settlers "started" because they were so grateful for having survived at all. It'd already been part of western cultures for centuries. The Germans, I know have an "Erntedankfest" sometime in October I think.Emily SILnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576713095937364949.post-82142602157550750102009-11-25T09:20:52.519-05:002009-11-25T09:20:52.519-05:00You are so right ON with this.

I like the idea of finding a way to make someone else thankful. Many communities have dinners for homeless people or organizations were a family can be "adopted" for the holidays, we all hear of opportunities to donate toys, coats, blankets, etc. It would be great if more of us could consider others who are struggling right now.<br />Thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving/Lori Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233955188892423314noreply@blogger.com
