Thanksgiving Tradition Of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is an amazing time of year when you get together with your loved one and give thanks. I am thankful for many things, for example, my family, my friends and God. I am thankful for many more reasons than I can list. I love thanksgiving and I love everything in my life. For one thing I love my family and they love me. They love me be giving me things like shelter and food. They also do thing for me like doing my laundry and make me food. They also care for me in similar ways but they also send me to a great school and outside of school they teach me life lessons like how to look respectable or to never yell indoors. A third reason why I am thankful for them is because they comfort me when I am down. My dad will make me laugh and

When I imagine “The First Thanksgiving”, I think of peace and harmony. Then my History complex comes in, I remember all of the rape, cannibalism, and disease spreading that happened in the years before “The First Thanksgiving” ruin my picture perfect scene. The Pilgrims did not have a farming aspect when they came to The New Colony but with the help of the Native Americans they learned how to survive. When I was younger we always were taught that this time, in history, everyone got along and they were happy. The Pilgrims came to have religious freedom and not to be treated as second class citizens. This is a notable act but they had various pathogens that they were immuned to but the Natives were not. Historians say that the pathogens that

It was a cold November evening when my family gathered at an uncle’s house to celebrate our Thanksgiving. One of my aunts brought her typical marshmallow yams, and one of my uncles brought their typical banana bread. Another brought Soba Salad, and another brought Spicy Kimchi Squid. As the food gathered to the dining table, just as everyone had arrived, we all gathered in the living room. My grandfather sitting on the couch as the head figure of the family brought out a book that everyone knew very well, the Bible. As we began to worship our God, in the middle of one of my grandfather’s sermon, an alluring aroma filled the room all the children, including myself, began to drool. It was of course, the main dish, the ham. As we finished our

My feelings about the occasion starts with an outward positive aspect of the event as it brought a sense of harmony creating an opportunity to bond. Encouraging involvement in the preparation of family meals creating a sense of tradition while assisting in bridging the gap between generations. Stories that were told gave children a sense of family values with a deeper acceptance. Although it was never mentioned, this was an occasion that stimulated healthy communication coupled with healing. One can even look at this event as being a casual commitment to make time for one another offering support and a sense of identity. Truly, this time meant having a thankful attitude about life which is more inward than outward. Its means to be content giving God praise for everything in my life. Joy and sincerity was also a reality reassuring us as we devoted ourselves to food and fellowship putting stress and conflict behind us. Likewise, it meant a time of preparation, participation, and an opportunity to reconnect with our beliefs and values. It also meant having a feast with turkey, pumpkin pie, and more.

The Wampanoag brought popcorn to the first Thanksgiving feast. Basically this myth means that on the first thanksgiving the Wampanoag brought popcorn to the first Thanksgiving. The truth about this myth is that they actually didn’t bring popcorn. There’s nothing true about this myth there’s the Wampanoag’s didn’t bring popcorn simple as that. It reveals that people are easily tricked if they believed this myth. And there mindset is easy to be changed.

From an early age and without even knowing it, I was able to relate stories from the bible I read in my later years. I have heard some say they grew up poor, and then they would describe their circumstance. One person said they did not receive a new bike at Christmas and the other said they only had turkey and sides at Thanksgiving because their family could not afford to purchase a ham. I would laugh and reply I remember being hungry on Thanksgiving hoping a relative would invite my family over for dinner. After reading the story of Jesus feeding the multitudes with a few fish and a few loaves of bread, I wished Jesus had found and blessed my family when we wondered where our next meal would come from. One example of something similar

People celebrate their Thanksgivings different or the same as I do. Even the food you eat could be the same or different. So some similarities with me and Jack for Thanksgiving are, we both watch football and hang out with our family. We also play family games too, like twister and hide and seek. Some differences that we have are that Jack eats different food than I do.

The first Thanksgiving was celebrated by the pilgrims after their first harvest which was in New World in October 1621. Thanksgiving became a tradition and was celebrated by many people across the world. This tradition is mostly to be thankful for anything family, friends , teachers etc.

Following up on your last message, I would love to hear any and all feedback regarding both my performance and my response to the problem statement so that I can see where and what I need to improve. From reflecting on how the calls went, I personally don't think that I performed up to my usual standard.

In 1620, a ship left Plymouth, England en route to the “New World”. The name of ship was the Mayflower. On board was 102 passenger along with religious items. In 1621, the Plymouth colonist and the Wampanoag indians shared what is to believed to be the first Thanksgiving meal. For the next two centuries, Thanksgiving was celebrated by individual colonies and states.

Every family has a unique way of celebrating the holidays. Some may have wacky traditions, secret family recipes, and just interesting meals. My family has some interesting traditions that are much different than most people´s. Such as out yearly baseball game, or our assortment of gravy. Many other families have goofy traditions and meals as well, you just wait.

As I woke up in my bed, I knew it was going to be a wonderful and unforgettable day for me. Due to the fact that I was fortunate enough to be able to experience and have a glimpse of what Thanksgiving looks like in America. Before then, what I knew about Thanksgiving were all from the movies, dramas or books that I had watched and read. I knew that Thanksgiving is an important holiday for families and friends to gather together, to celebrate, to feast and to enjoy staying with one another. It is just similar to one of the Chinese traditional festivals, Mid-Autumn Festival. The Full moon symbolizes family reunion in Chinese tradition, so at that time, families will gather together to enjoy the full moon and the traditional type of bakery, mooncakes.

I am reminded as I am currently sitting in the back of the ambulance transporting a patient to St Louis Missouri from Fort Smith Arkansas that a majority of my holidays are spent working. Now that I think about it, three out of my last four Thanksgivings were spent at work. I have gotten so used to working holidays that it just seems normal to me. I do miss out on multiple family get-togethers, but when you spend one third of your life living at an ambulance station your co-workers become family as well. We work twenty four hours on duty, and forty eight hours off from work. I typically always work with the same three people and being at the ambulance station is a lot like being at home. We have your typical living room, kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms similar home, but we also have other rooms like a gym, equipment room, offices, locker room, and training rooms.

The Oxford dictionary defines united as “joined together politically, for a common purpose, or by common feelings”. I believe in an America where the world is united for a common purpose. The America I believe in is an America where there is race and gender equality and interaction between people.
