All About Thanksgiving

It's that time of year again. Thinking about getting a turkey yet? Wondering what football games will be on TV? Going over your guest list? Yes, it's Thanksgiving again. And sometimes we get so busy with the busy-ness of this American holiday that we don't stop to think about its true meaning - giving thanks to God. We all know the story of the Pilgrims and the Indians that first Thanksgiving. Or do we? What is the story behind Thanksgiving anyway? Check out All About Thanksgiving and you'll find out.

This colorfully decorated page (and a long page it is - it takes a few moments to load) is full of all kinds of information about Thanksgiving, its history, and all the things that go with it. Do you know why the Pilgrims came to America? That most of the Pilgrims were not Puritans but Separatists? What did they wear? Who was William Brewster? Did the Indians have a Thanksgiving celebration? Did anybody else? All these questions and more are here for you to explore, many with links to additional sites with more detailed information.

Okay, but what about the thing we think about most at Thanksgiving - FOOD! Headed by a turkey holding an "Eat more ham" sign, there is a host of links to satisfy your culinary curiosity. Remember, you can't put on weight just by looking at the screen... or can you? And of course, Thansgiving is family day! There are suggestions on how to bring home the message of Thanksgiving to your family and loads of stuff to entertain the kids.

Rounded off by a recommended reading list and links to other Thanksgiving pages, All About Thanksgiving is a major resource for this holiday. Our thanks go to Debbie Perkins for her excellent work in bringing us All About Thanksgiving. Debbie can be reached at perkins@internetx.net.
