Thanksgiving Day

22 November, 2007 – This was our first Thanksgiving day.  Although Thanksgiving day is celebrated in the United States (Not UK), we are blessed to have a lovely American family as our neighbour & friends.  Corrina & Kelvin had invited us for traditional thanksgiving dinner.  We had delicious meal, ie pumpkin pie, green bean cosserole, mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, roast chicken.  It was a wonderful and enjoyable night.

‘In the United States, Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks, traditionally to God, for the things one has at the end of the harvest season. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Thanksgiving Day Festival commemorates the feast held by the Pilgrim colonists and members of the Wampanoag people at Plymouth in 1621. On this day people express gratitude to God for his blessings and give thanks to dear ones for their love & support. Feasting with family is an integral & most delightful part of Thanksgiving Day celebrations.’
