Thanksgiving is only bigger than Christmas on Thanksgiving!!! LOL
Yes, most of us do celebrate being thankful on that day, while many of us think back to the original thanksgiving day when the Native Indians bailed the dying pilgrims out... and then when they lived through and actually had a harvest of crops the next year or so. Most of the Europeans died. I can only imagine their fortitude...and their faith in God.
Of course, we are also thankful for parades and footballs teams and games
