There is no
doubt that
God has
created all
of us and He
has provided
all the
necessary
things for
our survival
in this
world. No
matter how
tough our
life could
be but He is
always there
to take care
of us and to
give us all
the good
things. We
should
always thank
to Almighty
for His
great
kindness.
We, the
human beings
in the world
always
should try
to make
people
happy,
comfortable,
and to do
that makes
sense.
Because, by
doing so, we
can show our
gratitude
towards the
Almighty. If
you want to
make someone
really happy
and intimate
to you,
thank
him/her as
much as you
can for
his/her
every single
contribution
to anything.
In our daily
life in this
mechanism
world, we
often forget
to say
thanks to
other which
can make
him/her
happy. We
should
express
gratitude to
the Almighty
for his
blessings
and give
thanks to
dear ones
for their
contribution,
help, love,
and support.
This year
Thursday,
November 23,
2006 ,
Americans
are
celebrating
385th
�Thanksgiving
Day.�
Thanksgiving
Day is a
joyous
family
festival
celebrated
with lot of
enthusiasm
in U.S.A,
Canada , and
several
other
countries.
The simple
meaning of 'Thanksgiving'
is the
_expression
of gratitude
and the
giving of
thanks. The
Thanks
Giving Day
is simply
directed
towards the
Almighty. It
is also a
time for
tradition
and sharing.
Even if they
live far
away, family
members
gather for a
reunion at
the house of
an older
relative.
All give
thanks
together for
the good
things that
they have.
�I, GEORGE
W. BUSH,
President of
the United
States of
America , by
virtue of
the
authority
vested in me
by the
Constitution
and laws of
the United
States do
hereby
proclaim
Thursday,
November 23,
2006 , as a
National Day
of
Thanksgiving.
I encourage
all
Americans to
gather
together in
their homes
and places
of worship
with family,
friends, and
loved ones
to reinforce
the ties
that bind us
and give
thanks for
the freedoms
and many
blessings we
enjoy,� has
been
proclaimed
by the
president of
the United
States of
America on
the eve of
Thanks
giving day
in U.S.A.
From the
history in
1620, a boat
filled with
more than
one hundred
Pilgrims
sailed
across the
Atlantic
Ocean and
settled in
the state of
Massachusetts
, U.S.A.
Their first
winter in
the there
was
difficult.
They had
arrived too
late to grow
many crops,
and without
fresh food,
half the
colony died
from
disease. The
following
spring the
Iroquois
Indians
taught them
how to grow
corn
(maize), a
new food for
the
colonists.
They showed
them other
crops to
grow in the
unfamiliar
soil and how
to hunt and
fish.
In the
autumn of
1621,
bountiful
crops of
corn,
barley,
beans, and
pumpkins
were
harvested.
The
colonists
had much to
be thankful
for, so a
feast was
planned.
They invited
the local
Indian chief
and ninety
Indians. The
Indians
brought deer
to roast
with the
turkeys and
other wild
game offered
by the
colonists.
The
colonists
had learned
how to cook
cranberries
and
different
kinds of
corn and
squash
dishes from
the Indians.
To this
first
Thanksgiving,
the Indians
had even
brought
popcorn.
After the
United
States
became an
independent
country,
Congress
recommended
one yearly
day of
thanksgiving
for the
whole nation
to
celebrate.
George
Washington
suggested
the date
November 26
as
Thanksgiving
Day. Then in
1863, at the
end of a
long and
bloody civil
war, Abraham
Lincoln
asked all
Americans to
set aside
the last
Thursday in
November as
a day of
thanksgiving.
In his
thanks,
President
Bush has
thanked to
every
Americans
and said
that
Americans
are
privileged
to live in
the world's
freest
country,
where the
hope of the
American
dream is
within the
reach of
every
person.
Americans
are ready to
answer any
universal
call to
serve
throughout
the world.
Mr.
President
has showed
gratitude
for the
blessings of
freedom,
family, and
faith, and
hoped God
may continue
to bless
America .
What makes
Thanksgiving
more
memorable
and
delicious?
Turkey ,
corn (or
maize),
pumpkins,
and
cranberry
sauce are
symbols
which
represent
the first
Thanksgiving.
The use of
corn meant
the survival
of the
colonies.
"Indian
corn" as a
table or
door
decoration
represents
the harvest
and the fall
season.
