Do you really celebrate Thanksgiving or do you...

just eat the food? I am thankful for what I have all the time, everyday!! So for me Thanksgiving is a time to get together with family and share the magic of a meal together! Plus the whole fact that the pilgrims subsequently began to steal land from the natives and therefore founding a society that then brought ancestors of mine from their native country and made them slaves doesn't really sound like something I want to celebrate. But knowing that this country goes through many changes, and that we as humans all go through changes in what we believe is moral or not happens and I am thankful for that. I am thanful all the time, and thankful to be free, and thankful for people who want to give their lives for freedom because I know I couldn't fight in a war I'd be a total cry baby. I cry just thinking about all the sadness in the world. So yeah. So do you just eat and hangout on turkey day or do you really take the time to be thankful?
