🍂 Happy Thanksgiving! We are here to share not just a meal but stories of gratitude and history! 🌟 Did you know that the origins of Thanksgiving have fascinating twists? 🗓️ While today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, its historical roots hint at why Thursday was chosen. The Puritan colonists might have selected Thursday to distance the celebration from the Sabbath, while it was also a day for lectures in New England, adding to its significance. 🌽 The iconic 1621 feast shared by Pilgrims and Wampanoag tribe members wasn't exactly a typical "Thanksgiving." Typically, these settlers observed "thanksgiving" as days of fasting. This three-day feast, therefore, stood out as a joyful celebration rather than a customary thanksgiving. 🙏 Thanksgiving, at its core, is about expressing gratitude for the year's blessings. It's a time to reflect on the abundance in our lives and appreciate the communities that support us through the highs and lows. 🌍 This year, let's take a moment to extend our thanks beyond borders. The spirit of gratitude knows no boundaries. Tag someone you're thankful for, whether they're across the street or across the globe.
