Ziva1: I never did understad what Thanksgiving is all about really, guess I never witnessed it either.... what is it about????? OK call me dumb...
The original Thanksgiving took place on the east coast of America when the pilgrims were first arriving... they encountered a lot of difficulties and would probably have died off but for the help of the Indians who showed them what foods were good to eat and how to trap and kill the appropriate wild life for food etc. So at the end of the year they had a huge feast... Pilgrims and Indians to give thanks.
Unfortunately the Indians would have been better off if they had allowed the first Pilgrims to perish as the "white man" would up killing off the Indians in the end....
But the Holiday it´s self is lovely... like I said it´s all about gathering people together to share food and to take a moment to reflect and be thankful for all the good things in their lives.
