All the things Thanksgiving means to me
A chapter in the book Stories and Poems for the Holidays
Thanksgiving
by BethShelby
When the turkey's in the oven,
and the dressing has been made... When the pies are slowly cooling, and the table has been laid... When the house is looking festive with fall colors everywhere, and aromas from the kitchen freely permeate the air... When the kinfolk are arriving with their faces all aglow, and the house rings out with laughter with kids running to and fro... Then the feast day we're observing makes us feel as rich as kings, as we take time to be thankful for the joy that family brings. |

For those of you are not from America, Thanksgiving is an American Holiday celebrated on the last Thursday in November. We celebrate it in honor of the first Thanksgiving the pilgrims from England celebrated to give thanks for making it though the year and having bountiful crops. The first years were very hard on the Pilgrima and many of them died. The first Thanksgiving was a large feast celebrated with the Native American Indians.
