Happy Thanksgiving - Page 3

My family and I will be going to the wife's family's house for Thanksgiving this year. Our 1 year old is plenty to be thankful for; plus he will be able to enjoy this one a lot more than the last one, he was only 4 months old at the time. Now he is eating regular foods and will eat heartily! My mom will join us there so it will be a special time for the grandparents with our kids, while the wife and I get to sit back and relax a little. Happy Thanksgiving to all my forum family who will be celebrating as well. I'll be enjoying some good food and watching football all day!

I'm really excited about Thanksgiving this year. My boyfriend's parents went out of town, which is sad, but this means that he and I don't have to try to fit two massive meals in within the same hour. We can pig out over here on fried turkey until our hearts are content. Then next year, we can go spend Thanksgiving just with them. Life made easier.

Fried turkey? I never heard of it before, but I do love turkey!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!

We are just staying at home. It is almost 12:30 PM, and we will be eating in a few minutes.

It has been a very interesting couple of days reading blogs and commentaries. On TownHall.com, there were two seperate articles trying to remind people that Thanksgiving Day isn't just about feeling thankful for the good things we enjoy, but about expressing those thanks to God. Within our country, many, if not most, people forget this simple idea. In fact, in some schools it is forbidden to even discuss the fact that the Pilgrims were Christian, and that the "first Thanksgiving" was about extending their thanks to God in prayer. They are actually teaching children that the holiday is about the Pilgrims thanking the Indians.

Anyway, I am thankful to God for the wonderful blessings He has given me.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I'm Jewish in tradition, so I didn't do much for thanksgiving. We did have a bigger than usually dinner, but not anything to do with Turkeys

Smudge brings up an interesting point. Is Thanksgiving a Christian celebration considering it was Christian Pilgrims that started it with the Indians who brought generous bounty for them or is neutral to all? I also wonder what thanks is show to the Native Indians in celebration of what they did? Also, does it have to be turkey or could it be roast pig?

Traditionally, it is turkey because that is what the pilgrims had. However, many folks now also have baked ham (and I'm sure other main dishes) either instead of or in addition to the turkey.

I'm not sure if it's strictly a Christian, but definitely and distinctly an American ritual/tradition/holiday.
