Happy thanksgiving to all, even though Thanksgiving is in October in Canada.
Happy Thanksgiving! Nice to see you again im2smarg4u, even if it is only as brief visit.
Happy thanksgiving, I would like to give thanks for being able to be with both my real family and the big family of forumgoers who have for the most part never seen each other. The turkey was good too. Happy thanksgiving to everybody! :) ;D
I, for my part, enjoyed garlic-gruyere-onion-mushroom gratin on the day of giving thanks. No turkey...
Though I must ask you all: to whom are you giving thanks? If you are bot giving thanks to God, you are not properly celebrating the holiday. For the ones who set up the holiday, believe it or not, in a God that provided for them. Huh. How did that happen?
You are not one that may dictate whether how I celebrate a holiday is the correct way. And I cannot understand your last sentence.
I give thanks the the simple fact of my existence within the body I in which I now reside, for it was born into a life of comfort and privelege,
and to the fact that no (human) family members have suffered horrific fates since last Thanksgiving,
and that I had the insight to become a veggamatarian. No "God" required.
But to whom or what are you giving thanks to? It is near impossible to be thankful without being thankful to someone or something.
In order, my parents, random chance, and myself. Why do you ask?
Who says you need to thank anyone in particular, is it too much just to be generically grateful?
Agreed. In some cases, it is more a feeling of relief expressed as thankfulness.
Thanksgiving break is over, so I am saying goodbye again. I hoped you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving.
Oh. You're leaving again? We can change!

Interesting--I didn't know that Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving.
