Just as we did for Samhain (aka: Halloween) we are posting stories and images of the holiday.
Although most Americans think of it as a uniquely American holiday Thanksgiving is actually celebrated in several countries including our neighbor to the north, Canada. While other countries have similar holidays to celebrate the harvest as well.
Harvest festivals have been around since there has been a harvest in cultures around the world - even the aforementioned holiday we celebrated on the last Saturday in October is a harvest festival.
Enjoy your holiday but remember that Turkey does have a chemical in it that induces drowsiness - it is NOT an old wives tale - so indulge accordingly.
