Nothing happens randomly, so does in the case of this special celebration day of Thanksgiving. The holiday somehow falls in the ending part of the year. The perfect time to value what you had during the passing year and express words of gratitude to the ones who were by your side during this period. To the ones who sent you their love and care, who ensured your well-being and surrounded you through the bad days. Besides gratitude, it is also a celebration of the fall harvest. So, let’s explore what is hiding behind this beautiful celebratory holiday.
Dating Back to The Ambassadors of Thanksgiving Celebration
We all know that it began with the Pilgrims, who in 1621 declared it their First Thanksgiving and launched a sense of interconnectedness among different cultures and people. This happy feast lasted for three days. Some researchers claim that up to 90 Wampanoag Native American people and 53 Pilgrim survivors of the Mayflower were attending the celebration. After many decades in 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed a national holiday as Thanksgiving Day, to be celebrated on November 26, which fell on the final Thursday of the month. And a special proclamation was introduced saying:
“I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.”
And we have celebrated Thanksgiving ever since.
Here’s What to Expect From Nowadays Celebration
Through the years we all might expect a total switch from the initial traditions of Thanksgiving. Whereas, we should proudly announce that nearly all Americans stay loyal to the very specifics of this holiday.
This period of Autumn is marked with the gatherings of your family and loved ones. Thanksgiving is a joyful and family-gathering holiday where we can celebrate gratitude, something that we don’t do these days. The first thing we associate Thanksgiving with, is the festive dinner. Thanks to gorgeous cultural diversity, Americans serve dishes that represent unique ethnic backgrounds. But the ‘queen’ of celebratory dinner is freshly roasted turkey.

Greeting cards give us that extra step to reach an emotional level and feel that bound, love, sympathy and admiration that we have towards our loved ones.
It is always a good idea to express your gratitude by oral or written forms. Especially now that we have that special occasion. With custom printed thank you cards, your loved one will always keep it and reconsider it from time to time.

Thank you cards may not only include thank you notes, but also beautiful citations about appreciation and gratitude you feel towards that special person.

Personalized acrylic wall art or framed canvas wrap will prolong those cherished memories you had with that special person and of course will make the little corner of the room more beautiful and engaging. This can be a nice way to turn their house into a home with warm memories.
