    World Wide Party: Thanksgiving

    DateWednesday, November 23, 2011 at 12:39PM

    Happy Thanksgiving to ya'll!

    Thanksgiving is not just American tradition, it is also observed by Canada, Norfolk Islands, Liberia, Leiden (Netherlands) and Puerto Rico.

    Thanksgiving in North America originated from a mix of European and Native traditions. The early settlers celebrated Thanksgiving as an act of gratitude to God for their new life and the end of their harvest season.

    The earliest authenticated celebration was the one in September 1565, in Florida. The Native Americans were deeply pious, and the tradition is carried through to today and is even celebrated by the non-religious.

    It’s a day of eating turkey and pumpkin pie and to celebrate the holiday season with loved ones. A wonderful family affair!!
