THANKS GIVING DAY

Hi friends, tomorrow and day after tomorrow there is a huge celebration in America which is known as THANKS GIVING DAY. In every respect i think it is so nice and must be celebrated because every person needs a help in his social, official and daily life but due to partial carelessness or slight engagement one does not manage time to say thanks to his closest one by whom he is helped. To take a help is not bad but to forget it is bad. We must remember if we are helped by someone or at least say thanks to all who made your life easier and keeping it in mind USA started a thanks giving day which is really nice and gives a moral lesson to be friendly as well as helpful to those who seeks help.

Most government offices, businesses, schools and other organizations are closed on Thanksgiving Day. Many offices and businesses allow staff to have a four-day weekend so these offices and businesses also closed on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day. Public transit systems do not usually operate on their regular timetables.

Thanksgiving Day it is one of the busiest periods for travel in the USA. This can cause congestion and overcrowding. Seasonal parades and busy football games can cause disruption to local traffic.

Thanksgiving Day has been an annual holiday in the United States since 1863. Not everyone sees Thanksgiving Day as a cause for celebration. Each year since 1970, a group of Native Americans and their supporters have staged a protest for a National Day of Mourning at Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Massachusetts on Thanksgiving Day. American Indian Heritage Day is also observed at this time of the year.

There are claims that the first Thanksgiving Day was held in the city of El Paso, Texas in 1598. Another early event was held in 1619 in the Virginia Colony. Many people trace the origins of the modern Thanksgiving Day to the harvest celebration that the Pilgrims held in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621. However, their first true thanksgiving was in 1623, when they gave thanks for rain that ended a drought. These early thanksgivings took the form of a special church service, rather than a feast.

In the second half of the 1600s, thanksgivings after the harvest became more common and started to become annual events. However, it was celebrated on different days in different communities and in some places there were more than one thanksgiving each year. George Washington, the first president of the United States, proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving Day in 1789.

So friends come closer and develop a friendly atmosphere around you because you can not achieve all without a help, Helping hands are the precious gift of god and one must enjoy and say thanks, It is also fact that for any kind of help there is no return but if you say thanks --- you feel good. So donot forget to say thanks. So thanks to you all and have a nice day
