A day to express our gratitude for everything we take for granted.

I know this is an American national holiday, so if you aren't American, you can understand, but this is a day that we celebrate and give thanks for things that we all too often don't think much of, or take for granted.  The clothes on your back, the mass amounts of food on your table, the roof over your head.  The heaters that keep your chilled house at a warm temperature.  Everything that you as a civilized human being have thanks to those who have passed before you.

I don't know if people fully grasp the purpose of this day.  Most just think it is a day to sit around, watch the game, eat and get fat, then fall asleep due to all the turkey.  I just want to remind people that today is the day that you have a smile on your face.  Walk around your house, look at everything you have, and be thankful.  Be thankful for the wood furnishings that some man slaved over to build.  Be thankful of the asphalt driveway that some company laid down so you can drive your car onto.  Be thankful of the roofing on your house, the computer at your desk, the grass in the front yard, the family that cooked your fattening meal.  This is a day to put aside worries, and just be grateful that your life is the way it is.

Happy Thanksgiving folks!

Sounds like a pretty lame holiday to me. Canadian Thanksgiving is right before Halloween and we just get drunk and eat turkey with our families.

Happy thanksgiving, America!  :D
We, up in Canada, celebrate thanksgiving in October. November seems much more suitable to have it, though.

That's actually really horrible...  :-\

Even though this is only America - I'm thankful for my family, friends, food and shelter that is provided and this loving community... Thank you.

Hooray for nice things!

I'd say if you have a computer and an internet connection, then you're doing immensely better than the majority of the rest of the planet. Enjoy this day with your loving families, and try to take some time to appreciate the fact that you live in a part of the world that has the resources to randomly choose several days a year to make a whole lot more food than neccesary and eat it all at once.

Whee!
