As per historical records, Thanksgiving traces its origins back to the cold Plymouth of 1621 in Massachusetts, North America. This solemn occasion was marked by a hearty three-day feast involving the surviving Pilgrims from the Mayflower and the friendly Wampanoag tribe. Celebrating a successful harvest after a grueling winter, their gathering was an embodiment of gratitude, bonds forged in challenging times, and a shared appreciation for the bounties of the earth.

This tradition of expressing gratitude has withstood the test of time, transforming into a rich cultural event that unites families across the nation, involving feasting, parades, and football today.

Back in 1621, a band of brave Pilgrims in Plymouth, Massachusetts celebrated the first Thanksgiving. Surviving the harshest winter, they invited the Wampanoag tribe over so they could feast for three days.

Coming together in gratitude for a successful harvest, their festivities launched a tradition that spans centuries to become a beloved American holiday celebrated with turkey feasts, family gatherings, and heaps of pumpkin pie.

"Arise, my Luna." His voice rang in the air and sent shivers down my spine. I looked down at the ground, slowly rising to my feet while holding my breath.  "My name is Clair, Alpha Aeon." I answered respectfully, but I refused to look at him. Frustration rolled off of his aura before it changed into anger. I swallowed hard as bile threatened to rise from my throat.  "Have I done anything to despise you?" His hand snaked around my nape as he took one step closer. "My wolf is so close to marking you, Clair. I can assure you, it'll be painful. I'm the only one standing in the way. Submit, and we'll make it less painful." He moved his hand to my jaw, forcing me to look at him. "Look at me. You'll be mine! And I will make sure all others before me are forgotten." I closed my eyes, and the tears fell from my eyes. I was already losing this battle. I took a deep breath, ready to nod my head, when a ferocious growl marred the air, shaking the ground where I stood.  "I dare you to touch what's mine!" I snapped my eyes open, turning in the direction of the threat. He's here.  He came for me.  My Alpha came for me.  ¤¤¤¤¤ ALPHA JACOB GALHART of the Black Shadow Pack never wanted a mate.

In this spirit my favorite festival of the year is Thanksgiving, and there is none more pleasurable than getting lost in that most Hobbit of J.R.R. Tolkien novels. It feels good to listen to Bilbo Baggins tell us about his wanderings all over Middle Earth-even the simple things like delicious food or awakening from a good night sleep. The celebration of home and family that the Lord of the Rings so successfully foreshadow is more evident in Thanksgiving.Follow the above with Studio Ghibli's 'My Neighbor Totoro': a delightful hand-painted cartoon film that is all about warmth and wonder. Lastly, 'Animal Crossing' will provide all the enjoyment and honoring social courtesies needed. It's a picturesque, story-orientated game where players can build and manage their own island, its positive atmosphere suitable for the holiday season.

Figure this, midnight storytellers, huddling around a flickering fire, eyes widened as they spin tales of the dreaded Wendigo. Originating from the lore of the Algonquian-speaking tribes of North America, the Wendigo is an embodiment of gluttony and excess. It's a cautionary tale warning against greed, selfishness, and consumption. This malicious spirit would take hold of individuals exhibiting such behaviors, transforming them into insatiable monsters. Trust me, these beasties from Native American folklore are nightmarish, terrifyingly highlighting the dangers of unchecked desires.

The origin of the Wendigo traces back to the indigenous tribes of North America, particularly those in the Great Lakes region, such as the Algonquin, Ojibwe, and Cree. Its presence in tribal folklore spans centuries, acting as a tale of darkness and cannibalism, instilled to evoke fear against such inhumane acts. Braced by the region's chilling winters and scarce resources, the Wendigo mythology symbolizes the peril of selfishness and greed.

Thanksgiving holds roots in the bountiful feast that pilgrims from England shared with the Wampanoag tribe in the new land known as Plymouth, Massachusetts, back in 1621. After a fruitful harvest, they gathered together to show gratitude for their newfound prosperity, setting the early foundation for Thanksgiving. It wasn't until President Abraham Lincoln, centuries later in 1863, amid the Civil War, declared a national day meant for 'Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelles in the Heavens.' Since then, it has become an annual celebration embedded in American traditions and culture.

is thanksgiving a pagan holiday

In fact, when people ask, "Is Thanksgiving a Pagan Holiday?" My answer must be "No." In historical fact, Thanksgiving never came from a pagan festival. We do know how such a festival emerged: modern Thanksgiving started with a harvest festival to which both the English pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe were invited in 1621. But feeling grateful for what you have, and celebrating the bounty that the earth provides-that doesn't change at all. This concept threads through various cultures and white wealth through numbers, from the Celtic harvest festivals to the Roman festival of Ceres, and all parts of Native American tradition. Just so, while modern Thanksgiving today is not immediately of direct pagan descent, every time period and every spot on earth has surely had its heart feel warm with gratitude (and stomach fill up).
