Happy Thanksgiving

I read an interesting question asked recently: Is Thanksgiving a Christian holiday, or is it a national holiday?

I had always considered it to be a national holiday. Yes, the pilgrims were Christians who saw the natives as the people of Satan, but that is beside the point. The first Thanksgiving was to celebrate the fact that the Wampanoag tribe had not only helped the pilgrims survive the winter, but (and most important) the fact that the Wampanoags had signed a treaty giving the land at Plymouth Rock to the pilgrims.

And if you want to know what Native Americans are thankful for on Thanksgiving Day, read this article:
