Know Thyself through YOUR Holidays:
What were you taught about Thanksgiving? Does it involve grateful pilgrims in stiff hats offering cornucopias of food to kind Native Americans? Apparently this common US version has been derived from ancient harvest festivals, English traditions dating from the Protestant Reformation, and softened versions of American history.
But apart from the history you learned, what does YOUR Thanksgivings mean to YOU. a.k.a. if you had a foreign exchange student, say an 8th grader, and had to explain what the holiday has meant and still means to YOUR family, limiting your explanation only to what happens in the home you celebrate it in, what would YOU say?
