...Thanksgiving is a public holiday when stores sell pumpkin pies. This is a feast were we honor the Native Americans who helped our ancestors .Usually in many houses the stove or the slow cooker is on to cook the food. The best part of this holiday is the eating part. This holiday is a great time for many foodies because of the different times of food. When we eat during Thanksgiving we do not just eat food like pizza and mac-N-cheese. We eat foods that our early founders ate. Some foods my family ears are corn bread, pumpkin pie, and soup. My favorite is the famous pumpkin pie. As you might notice all of these are made from vegetables. This holiday happens this year on November 26th.

...Native Americans have been disrespected from the very start and even now in modern times. Thanksgiving is a popular American holiday. Majority of Americans and even people around the world know thanksgiving as the day that the pilgrims and Indians sat down to have a big feast. This story is actually the fabricated truth of what happened that day. In 1620, a group of English explorers traveled back to England with a ship full of Indians ready to be made slaves. By the time the pilgrims reached Massachusetts they found only one living Indian named Squanto there, who had been kidnapped by Europeans over a decade before. He was taken to England, taught English, and had been attempted to be sold into slavery by the Spanish. He survived slavery in England and returned to...

...Nikolaus Elliehausen / Sacraments / Fr. Manahan / Period 8 Thanksgiving began as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. The MUHS Thanksgiving Mass incorporated many of those original ideas and added their own. Thanksgiving itself and Thanksgiving Mass are different for everyone. Everybody is giving thanks for different things in their lives, but ultimately the Thanksgiving Mass revolves around the idea of just being thankful and giving back, both of which are expressed regularly in the MUHS community. They lay underneath the various Grad at Grad values that most students will possess when their time comes to graduate from Marquette University High School. As for the difference it makes in the community, besides improving overall spiritual...

...Thanksgiving is when the leaves start to fall and it is time for venison? Though Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate the pilgrims and the Indians. Their traditions were very different than it is by today's standards. Would you go out and hunt for your turkey or deer. I know the Thanksgiving tradition for most people is to put a big ole turkey in the oven. A lot of people eat ham with their meal. I figure out that a lot of people eat all the same sort of sides, which usually consist of mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. It was very much the same for the pilgrims too they have many sides with their meals. A lot of people eat with family and some people do it with there friends. That is very similar to the original Thanksgiving,...

...When you eat a turkey for thanksgiving do you ever think how bad and poorly treated that turkey was and how it can make you sick. Turkey can be bad for you and can make you sick which can lead to an unhealthy life. It’s not only bad for you but it is also bad for the turkey because many people get a turkey for thanksgiving each year and 46 million turkeys around the United States are killed just so we could eat them. My first reason is that eating turkey can give you diseases and can possibly kill you. Whenever they use a dose of antibiotics on a turkey to stimulate their growth and to keep them alive from diseases it can pose a risk to anyone who eats that turkey. Even though dark meat turkey contains vitamins and minerals it also contains...

...is not the case of Thanksgiving. Very few people know the true story of Thanksgiving in America. Its origins have been twisted and it is wished that parts would be erased. The story is never really told truthfully in its entirety. Thanksgiving should be taught as it happened in history. Thanksgiving should no longer be celebrated the manner it currently is in America due to the suffering of Native Americans during the early years of United States history. This holiday should be eliminated...

...Some typical foods to come in mind when thinking of thanksgiving is turkey, ham, cranberry sauce, potatoes and pumpkin pies. At the time, the Indians, and settlers ate deer, berries, and corn. The Indians would celebrate a successful harvest. Corn was a very important factor to the “first thanksgiving”. Corn was used in many ways during this time of harvest. During the “first thanksgiving” the Indians turned the corn into porridge. Fruits that were native to the land were gathered and eaten. Americans have taken the foods stated in the history of thanksgiving and transformed them into the traditional holiday meal. When Thanksgiving rolls around in the American tradition it marks the time for the holiday season. Thanksgiving begins the holiday...

Many people will cook dinner for their family, neighbors and friends. They are have to eat turkey and also so many different types of food and salads.

I got some experience for shopping on Black Friday. My personal advice is if you are going to go your favorite store, just go there four or five...

...Cajun Thanksgiving There's Thanksgiving, and then there's a Cajun Thanksgiving, which means a table spread of almost ludicrous proportions - at least two meats, not necessarily including generous chunks of boudin and andouille; seafood gumbo; sweet and white potatoes; dirty rice; macaroni and cheese; cornbread; Spinach Madeleine; green beans; something with eggplant; pies and cakes; and coffee and tea and maybe a little rum punch to launch the meal. Yes, like the Pilgrims, Acadians, as they were known before the British drove them out of Nova Scotia's Acadian province and into Louisiana swamps, are annually thankful for their survival, and the bounty nature provided them in their new Low Country home. They had rice, wild turkeys, crawfish, shrimp and alligator, and they found...

...On the day before thanksgiving I fell asleep with one thought on my mind...TURKEY! But that thought changed the second I woke up. It was a dark misty morning and a blizzard had just passed through. My parents were trapped at a hotel trying to get home for thanksgiving. I heard a strange sounds, pounding sounds. That was the moment I knew there was a problem. I ran downstairs and saw a giant living turkey in my kitchen. I screamed at the top of my lungs, “HELP!” The giant turkey and his family were sitting at the table with giant pitchforks and butcher knifes. They looked as if they were waiting for someone or something to eat… That’s when I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder, and behind me was a GIANT turkey with fangs and blood dripping...
