Thanksgiving, we all have something we can be thankful for

 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 !

As its name indicates, Thanksgiving was a date established to give thanks. It was set by Abraham Lincoln, who chose this day to give thanks for the first abundant harvest that the English colonists had who settled in North America.


Since that day, his descendants and compatriots celebrate, on the fourth Thursday of every November, what has happened to them during the previous 365 days and give thanks for it.
