Mire's Holiday Pages: Thanksgiving!

Last Updated 9/9/2006


	until Thanksgiving 2007!

I know many people who love Thanksgiving for one reason: It has managed not to become over commercialized. One of the main reasons so many people have started to dislike the Christmas season.

So once in every year we throng, Upon a day apart, To praise the land with feast and song In thankfulness of heart.
-Arthur Guiterman (This isn't an exact quote. I've changed one word.)

Thanksgiving could be considered an heir to the many harvest festivals we have left behind, as we have grown away from the land around us. Thanksgiving (for us) is as much, if not more, a celebration of a single historical event as of the abundant harvests we are often blessed with.

Of course, Thanksgiving should be an every day event. Even if you don't believe in a "higher power" you can think of the many farmers and farm workers that labor so that we always have something for our tables.

Here's hoping you have a very
Happy Thanksgiving!
