United States celebrates Thanksgiving Day November 24 (which is celebrated during the fourth Thursday of November). Unlike here in the Philippines, it’s considered there to be one of the most special holidays, even better than Christmas. Historically, it’s rooted in the early post-harvest celebrations between the indigenous inhabitants of North America and the Europeans that first landed in America, who took time from their hard work to give thanks for what they had accomplished together. Thanksgiving almost always includes bountiful feasts (often with a big turkey), but mostly, it’s about spending time with friends and family to celebrate that for which they are most thankful.
And since this blog takes its cue on being grateful which is almost synonymous to being thankful, this is a special day. Even though we don't commemorate it here in the country, maybe you can find some time today to take note of things you are grateful of.
What are you thankful for?
