Longing to Give Thanks

there is no need to wait,just go for it and present your thanks and its the right time on thanksgiving day

We actually practice Thanksgiving Day at home :) It's a fixed fourth Thursday of November yearly =D We are not Americans haha but my mom wanted us to celebrate it too as a together meal :)) You can always cook special food on that day with fruits and etc, ;D Even if it's not an official Thanksgiving Day for Phil, we consider it as a Thanksgiving Day at home. =)) cheers!

Well, we could always do this during Christmas. I know turkey isn't what we Filipinos usually serve, but I don't think there's anything wrong with serving it in lieu of ham. We also say thanks for all the blessings we have received during this time.

We do not have a day like thanksgiving day so I don't know what kind of day that should be. As I understand a day family spents together why eating till they are stuffed? This sounds weird to me since every day should it be possible to be happy with you family, say thanks if you want to thank them and join your meal together. I don't understand what you mean by: most of the people teach their children the magic word.... and giving gratitude to god..." Fact is most people don't believe in the god you mention. Especially in my country most people are not religious at all, already since the 70's. My kids don't need to say thanks if there is nothing to thank for. Especially not to a god they don't know or need. They have plenty of self esteem theirselves and know who they have to thank if it comes to that. They are polite, helpfull, attentive, way more as most people. So we do not need a thanksgiving day to celebrate saying thanks. BTW to my opinion saying "thanks" is worthless if it's just teached and no more as a way to be polite or being accepted.

Everyday should be a thanks giving day ! We don't need to wait for specific occasion to express our gratitude and love. Any small thing deserve to be thank for and it must be coming from inside . Expressing gratitude is such a best value one have.

I think every thing to say "Thank you" for some thing that have given to us is Good Action. Every one will happy if some one say thank you for what they had given to other people. And celebrate it with eat turkey, hmm..sound it look like delicious, may be some times I will visit your country to celebrate it too.

I used o love thanksgiving while living in the united states. We dont have that holiday here in Mexico. But my son and I always celebrated it here- with a big turkey dinner. Thanksgiving means alot to me .
