Thanksgiving
.
The crown of
the FALL season, Thanksgiving
is one of our most celebrated
holidays. Family members and close
friends gather to eat at an
overloaded table and gives thanks to
God for our shared abundance and to
remember who we are and where we all
came from.
Thanksgiving
is celebrated in the United States
on the 4th Thursday of November.
This year it is Nov 26th. But our
neighbors up in Canada celebrated
their Thanksgiving on Oct 12th this
year. However, the venue and meaning
is the same for both countries. A
celebration of harvest with those
close to you.
Thanksgiving History: If you
have been following our September
and November Newsletters you may
remember our mention of the
Mayflower sailing from
from
Portsmouth England on September 16,
1620. That event is marked as
Mayflower Day.
November 11, 1620 is the day
that they finally anchored at what
is now Provincetown Harbor, Cape
Cod, Massachusetts. Historical
documents tell us that the following
year in 1621 the Pilgrims celebrated
their first harvest that they
eventually called
Thanksgiving with a great
deal of help from the local native
Americans who helped them survive
and live to found the nation we have
today.
Thanksgiving also ushers in the
holiday season and the beginning of
the Christmas gift buying and
preparations. So to make things a
little easier for you we have
highlighted a few of our candle
holders and decor items for your
holiday dinner table.
