Why Thanksgiving?

[sunnygirl]

I know that Thanksgiving is a day designated for us to be thankful and give thanks for our blessings, but sometimes I wonder why we only have one day set aside to do this. Life can be wonderful and beautiful and filled with things to be thankful for. It seems to me like everyday should be our day of thanks, thanks for life, thanks for our families, thanks for our health, etc.

What do you think?

Re: Why Thanksgiving?

it has to do with the harvest. Lincoln made it a federal holiday on a certain day. However, nothing stops people from being thankful everyday for their blessings in life.

I agreee sunny girl.. every day should be a day of thanks.. and our society just sets aside one day a year to do this.

I am thankful everyday for everything around me
