Thanksgiving

Which is the reason why i have put it in this catagory
people were saying that Thanks giving was brought to America with the Pilgrims . Am i right thinking Pilgrims were very strict religious people like Quakers


Is it because of having very strong religious roots that so many American people seem to be much more outwardly religious than people in Europe ?


by outwardly i mean in England it`s a lot less apparent if a person is a christian or not,. or am i thinking this way because of things i read on this site.
sorry i know its a bit complicated

PREGNANT TURKEY STORY: One year at Thanksgiving, my mom went to my sister's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store. When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, inserted it into the turkey, and re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven. When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird. With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed: "Patricia, you've cooked a pregnant bird!" At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry. It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!!!!!!!! HA HA!

I happen to be a curious person by nature. This coming week we celebrate the things we are thankful for in our lives. I've already posted things I am thankful for. What I'm curious to know is, what is it that YOU are most thankful for this year?

2006-11-18 17:27:15 · 18 answers · asked by writer_girl20 3

Every thanksgiving, I like to make a list of things I'm thankful for. I've done this for the last two years, and I really enjoy it. It makes me think of just how grateful I am, and of how much I really am blessed, though sometimes I don't even realize it.

THINGS I AM THANKFUL FOR--Thanksgiving 2006

1. God

-His neverending love
-His amazing grace
-His limitless mercy
-His continual forgiveness

2. Jesus

-The salvation He brought me through His death and resurrection.
-The fact that He died on the cross for me, and that even if I were the only one on earth, He still would have done it.
-His blood covers me when I go to the Father for forgiveness for my sins.
-He too loves me unconditionally.

3. The Holy Spirit

-Before I believed, I was blind to sin. When I became a believer, He opened my eyes and let me finally see.
-He is God's strength in me; He gives me strength through the Father to overcome life's trials.

4. My family, who even though they sometimes don't see it, I love unconditionally and I always will.

5. My boyfriend, the first man to ever truly love me, and whom I love with all my heart.

6. My friends, without whom my life would be empty and humorless.

7. The opportunity that lies before me, the chance to make a new and better life for myself, to become the woman God made me to be.

8. The gift of education. I may not have taken it seriously at the time, but I know without it, I couldn't have made it as far as I have.

9. Having a roof over my head, clothes to wear and food to eat. Many many others around the world don't have half the things I take for granted each day.

10. The talent for writing God has blessed me with. I'm going to start picking up my pen more often; I want to write to glorify Him.

11. For life itself. It's not an easy road, but at least there is a road. For some, the end comes too soon.


I wanted to share this with you, in hopes that it will remind you to celebrate this holiday as it was meant to be celebrated: Think of all that you do have, and be thankful for it. Somewhere out there is someone else who doesn't have half as much as you.

My Husband and I moved to a new home this year two hundred miles away from our family so we could go to college. We are friends with two other families who are in a similar situation. So we decided to put on Thanksgiving at my house. Did I mention that if it doesn't come out of a box I don't know where to begin? I took home Ec but that was ten years ago. How do I get the Turkey, Augratin Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Rolls, Green Beans, ETC all cooked and piping hot on the table at once? I only have one oven. Some things I can cook on the stove top, but others require baking and at different temps. I will make stuffing but not in the bird, too many stories of people getting sick.

Any Seasoned Vetrans out there got a few suggestions for me?

Hey everybody! Thanksgiving is on thursday and I am soooo bumed because I have no idea how I am going to cook four huge turkeys and all the other things for my HUGE family because I am eight months pregnant!

I have a bad feeling that this thanksgiving is going to be a disaster! I have no clue why our family of 4 parents, 2 grandparents, 8 nephews, 6 nieces, 2 brothers, 4 sisters, 3 brother in laws, 4 sister in laws, my husband, my 5 kids and I have to have thanksgiving dinner at my house. Thats like 38 people all together. I am supposed to be on bed rest, plus on thanksgiving night, my family always decorates the house for Christmas.

I need some fun kid things, a little rasurance, and a LOT of tips.

Also, I would love it if I could get some funny or not so funny holiday disasters that you had experienced!

Thanks, I would really apreciate it!!!

My husbands good friend lives very far from us. Every holiday there 11 yr. old son calls & say's he's coming over.(my husband is his god father.) I do'nt mind him coming over, it's that his parents don't even have the respect to call and ask what we are doing. Mind u , we lived in abig apt. but just recently moved into a very small 1 bedroom. (i havent even finished unpacking.) Now for thanksgiving me & my husband were planing a quiet night not even making turkey.there's no place for him to even sleep. Iam so upset at my husband that i dont even want to be here on thanksgiving.On the other hand (my husband recently just had a stroke about a month ago) i feel really bad that i don't want him to come but just look at it my way .For god sakes iam still upacking. How can i tell my husband that i really dont want his god son to come for thankgiving?
