Once again Thanksgiving is upon us. A time for relatives and friends to gather together and enjoy a huge turkey and or Ham dinner with all the trimmings and express their love and thankfulness for the bounty that lies in front of them. Giving thanks for their fruitful and abundant lives.

But I am getting ahead of my self. To learn about the history of Thanksgiving read our articles below or find a history tutor.
