THANKSGIVING DAY- Is an annual holiday in the
United States and Canada celebrating the harvest
and other blessings of the past, present and future.
Thanksgiving has deep roots in religion traditions.
In some families it is primarily celebrated as a
secular holiday.
The first nation-wide Thanksgiving was proclaimed
on November 26, 1789.
Thanksgiving is a great time to be thankful and
appreciate family and friends.
It is a great time for families to meet, socialize,
and enjoy a delicious turkey dinner.

Happy Thanksgiving to YOU!
