does any one know the true beging of turkey day or thanksgiving

i know chirstams it strated in the country of turkey
when a man by the name of saint nick gave persents to children
when the church say it they said he was celabrating the birth of chirst
so they said it was chirstmas but jesus was not born in december
if he was he would have died right after birth due to the cold he was actuall
born in june the month his dad had to go to the holy city bethlahem to check in
so the whole chirstmas is not chirstes birthday but they day a church wich
was the catholic church desided we will celebrate him
so give thanks for what u have and keep family and firends close

yeah i know were thanksgiving originated it originated in the east when
natives brought food to the other ppl

[lycan]

that is correct good for u
the actaul thing is tht the pilgrims needed to know how to grow crops
in this new world and the indians helped and at the first harvest they had
a huge feast the first thanksgiving

[Math_nerd]

then there wasn't another thanksgiving for decades.

"I celebrated a traditional thanksgiving. I invited all of my neiborghs over for a big feast, then killed them and took their land."

[Math_nerd]

Yes. It is the celibration of the resurection of Jesus Christ.

[Insanity test]

Origionally people were scared on all hallows eve and used to hide away inside.

Nowadays they decide they dont want to be scared so they go out and blackmail innocent old ladies for chocolate.

We don't really celebrate Halloween over here - although little bits and pieces pop up. Any excuse to throw a party!

A couple of years ago two little girls, dressed as fairies and accompanied by their mum, accosted Mr Astarte outside our front gate with the words "Trick or Treat". He was so astonished that he gave them each (not mum) 50cents and they fluttered away quite happily. No-one else has ever dressed up around here and done the rounds.
