Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. While it may have been religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday. It is sometimes casually referred to as Turkey Day.
Thanksgiving Day is a communal celebration marked as a sense of gratitude people feel for all the good things in life. This is done by offering prayers, gifting your near and dear ones.
Thanksgiving Day Tradition:
Family feast is an important tradition during Thanksgiving.
The traditional stuffed turkey adorns every dinner table during the feast. Pumpkin pie, Cranberry sauce, Corns are some of the dishes cooked everywhere to mark the day. Though historians don’t have an evidence to prove that turkey was eaten during the first Thanksgiving dinner, but the thanksgiving celebration will be incomplete without it.
The traditional Thanksgiving parade probably started with President Lincoln proclaiming it an official day. The full- dress parade is a way to display the country’s military strength and discipline. The main aim of such parades is to lift the spirits of the spectators, provide them with wholesome entertainment. In the present day, parades are accompanied with musical shows, floats, Disney Princesses wearing prom dresses or gowns and celebrities.
Anyway, I have so much to be thankful for this year. I am thankful for my parents, my siblings and my husband who will always be there to love and care for me.
Also, I want to thank all of you! Pinay Ads wishes its valued readers a Happy Thanksgiving.
Lots of love to you all!!
