THANKSGIVEN DAY

	
		There are a lot of things to thank for; here 
		in this Country, that has being a gracious
		Host to a lot of people with different 
		ethnic backgrounds and customs.

		We have all come here from somewhere,
		it does not matter why we came.
		We saw a diffent life than the one we had,
		we liked what we saw and staid to become
		part of this melting pot.

		First of all; is this reverence to the 
		Family, not that we did not have one,
		that holds the key that distills love
		and the need to gather together this 
		day around a festive dinner table.

		This reunion of loved ones, who come
		back home for this Holiday, no matter
		where they had been, is  strong and
		rejuvenates the feelings of want, love
		for each other and updates what might
		have faded a little, being away.

		Members of this Family, who went 
		away for some reason or another are 
		all looking forward with eager 
		anticipation for this reunion.
	
		A couple of days before Thanksgiven day,
		you notice everybody and the whole
		Country energized. 
		The people are buying stuff, arranging
		for transport and accomodations
		for their trip back home. 
		We are all like the migratory birds that 
		fly miles, sometimes in hard conditions,
		to come back to their nests.

		It is November again and  you see the 
		stores are all dressed up with their 
		festive decorations and everybody is 
		trying to help everyone else to make 
		this reunion as pleasant and comfortable 
		as possible.

		The people work hard all year round
		and when November comes you see
		the change. They are all eagerly 
		looking forward to gather around
		the festive dinner table with their
		loved ones.

		So, we give thanks to God who sent
		those Turkies to the Pilgrims to save
		them from starvation and who created
		this tradition for us to give thanks to
		God for all that this Country has given
		us by opening its doors and welcoming 
		us with opened arms.

		So I, who came from somewhere, wish
		all of you in this Country and the ones
		overseas fighting for Democracy;
		Happy Thankgiven Day, enjoy
		you Family or Friends if you do not 
		have a family.
		Enjoy your Turkey Dinner and think
		of the Pilgrims who made this 
		tradition possible by having faith
		in God.
