Thanksgiving, we all have something we can be thankful for Thanksgiving is a simple reflection on what we have and what we can be thankful for, whether in a spiritual or material context. With the experiences lived during the last months of the pandemic, it seems that we appreciate more the simple things, the family that we have close to us, our friends, whom we could not see for a long time. A good celebration of life !
Thanksgiving as a national holiday thanks to a woman
New York was one of the first states to adopt the official annual Thanksgiving holidays, but it was a woman, Sarah Josepha Hale, who bet on making Thanksgiving a national holiday.
It took her 36 years of editorial work, sending letters to governors and presidents. But she finally achieved her goal and the day was approved as a national holiday by Abraham Lincoln in 1863. For this reason, Sarah Josepha Hale receives the name of "The mother of Thanksgiving".
