Display on my dinner table in November, by Luz Miranda-Valencia

​Right now -on the eve of another fourth Thursday of November- I´m contemplating the lovely display we´ve had since the beginning of November on our dinner table. We´re preparing ourselves to celebrate Thanksgiving, and this gives me a peek into the first thanksgiving that was celebrated in 1621 by the pilgrims, which lasted 3 days.

You may wonder how it was –excellent question! Well, it was attended by about 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. It is said that at the first thanksgiving dinner when they sat down to eat, they ate berries, fruit, ham, clams, lobster, pumpkin, squash, venison and waterfowl.

​But -where´s the turkey? I´m happy you asked! Really, eating turkey for this event was uncommon until after 1800.
 
Nowadays, Thanksgiving is a national holiday. And some people may say: “Happy Turkey Day!” Does this sound weird to your ears? Actually, some people want to emphasize the big meal with turkey! But meal varies from household to household -for example, some people love preparing the buffalo chicken dip.
 
All days of November, I´m always delighted by the variety of pies I can find -just see on the map below!

But what´s important is the attitude of Gratitude and to remember that "there´s always something to be grateful for and reasons to rejoice."
 
      “In nothing be anxious
          but in everything, 
​          by prayer and petition
          with thanksgiving,
          let your requests be made to God.”


           Philippians 4:6
​

          Wish you a very happy
          and blessed Thanksgiving!
