2020 was fatal to many
Be thankful for this life of benign
Life is so unfair. How can the two best and biggest holidays be back to back and make us wait for the entire year!? Yes, you got it right. It's the HOLIDAY SEASON. Diwali is over and so comes THANKSGIVING. It may be new for some of us so here's a little brief about this holiday.
Thanksgiving is an annual national holiday in the North American continent celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year. This holiday takes place each year on the fourth Thursday of November. In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Native Americans shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.
The pace of the world is increasing incredibly and to match with it most of us leave behind our family and friends due to which we find ourselves only at times. This holiday is a solution to these impediments. Families and friends reunite and have a blast together with music, laughter, memories, tears, love, affection, warmness, fun, food, deserts and the Thanksgiving rally of course. Each festival brings loads of delicious food and so does Thanksgiving. Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, candied yams, traditional American pumpkin pie and pecan pie is a must for Thanksgiving.
As the name suggests, this holiday asks us to be thankful for all the riches we have in our lives. The biggest present is our life itself and 2020 taught us it's importance for sure. All the loved ones come together and pay their respects and gratitude for the small and big elements of life. I hope that this Thanksgiving will bring prosperity in your life and create memories which you will thankful forever.
