What does Thanksgiving mean to you?

My mom: "You should have woken up early and made the family breakfast because that's what Thanksgiving is about." Me: "...No it's not" My mom: "Then what is it about?" Me: "Slaughtering Native Americans and taking their land. Should I go out and do that?(*sarcasm*)" My mom: "... Yeah sure." My Dad in the background: "NO DON'T DO THAT!"

Well it's not supposed to be about killing American Indians but unfortunately it's very difficult to think about the first Thanksgiving without focusing mostly on that.

@BlueMetalChick I know. I was just being a smartass but yeah the first Thanksgiving definitely wasn't anything like what it is now...

@NaturallyPeculiar I'm an immigrant from Europe but I celebrate just because it's an excuse for a dinner party. And my sister makes hedgehogs every year which is absolutely to die for.

@BlueMetalChick My boyfriend and his family are from the Philippines and they celebrate it for the same reason you do minus the hedgehogs part lol. I mean it's definitely nice to get to eat dinner together.
