Thanksgiving


Tomorrow is Thanksgiving; and I am in the one place in the United Kingdom where it is observed. As the graphic intimates, it is a festival to celebrate the gifts of the past harvest. In Europe, this Sunday will be Thanksgiving as well. There is a Prayer Sunday for the new crops early in spring in certain European countries.

For those celebrating the festival: have a great time with friends and family.
