Giving of Thanks

What does the day of giving thanks mean to me?  Well to me it means just about the one and only time Native American's and the White man ever had peace and harmony between each other in U.S. history.  Where I usually go for thanksgiving is either my Aunt Beth and Uncle Roger's house or my great-grandparents.  I would like to have one up north with my mom's parents because I hardly ever get to see that side of my family and during Thanksgiving EVERYONE and I mean everyone is up there.  This year our family were the only people missing.  In our Thanksgiving dinners there isn't really any special food there, just the usual turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, rolls, pumpkin pie etc.  For our family we don't really have a tradition for Thanksgiving, just eat until you hate yourself.  We are supposed to celebrate Thanksgiving to give thanks to all that we have. Thanksgiving was proclaimed a holiday by Abraham Lincoln shortly after the end of the civil war.
