In 1621, the so called pilgrims shared an autumn feast with the Wampanoag native Americans. This day would impact the world forever. Now, 391 years later we are still celebrating this day, says http://www.history.com/.
Today many people forget the true meaning of thanksgiving. People are ungrateful and rude to each other. All they think about is heading out to the mall and buying all the new cheap gadgets that makeup our terrible society. And when 12 midnight strikes the herd of rude, and angry barbarians rush in pushing and shoving. Is this what people think the true meaning of thanksgiving is? I do admit that sometimes it is hard to not be rude, but we should all try to be kinder. If you do go to the mall on after thanksgiving, let the other girl take the last scarf, let the guy take the last pair of jeans. Be nice to other people, and not just on thanksgiving but everyday. To me the true meaning of thanksgiving is being thankful for everything, and everyone you love. Counting your blessings. When you see someone that has something you want, count your blessings. Afterwards you will see that you have enough and you will be very thankful.
