Thanksgiving in my opinion is a holiday that is a day where people thank God for what they are given. It is a holiday that is celebrated all around the world depending on what ethnicity you follow, though it is commonly a practised tradition in the United States,Canada and the United Kingdom (atleast as far as I know).
For this blogpost, I would like to talk about Canadian Thanksgiving
and you might be wondering why Canada? Well, because I was assigned to and also because I have developed a slight feeling of patriotism towards Canada! (:
Now you must be thinking that heh it's the same as America's Thanksgiving, well I'm here to tell you it's not!
For one, Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving in October and not November and they also don't have to celebrate it because of religion, though most do.
The second point is that it's not as strongly associated to shopping, as we all know in America, Thanksgiving is before Black Friday, another holiday which we can talk about another time. So, back to my rant about Canada and Thanksgiving.
(My resources for how Canada's Thanksgiving differs from America:
How Thanksgiving in Canada is different (: )
I've done an adequete amount of research and learned that Thanksgiving is a really important holiday, not only spiritually but emotionally too, it is a holiday(for some) where they value the impotance of ethics and for all, it is a holiday where gratitude and love is shared. It brings people closer together, a time to celebrate all the joys in life and look upon the mistakes you've made so that in the future, you can improve. (:
It is a holiday that helps you grow (:
