The Most "American" Holiday

Here's my piece on why I believe that Thanksgiving is one of the most distinctly "American" holidays of all -- with some of the most beautiful hymns.

What a great article. Even holding it on a Thursday has a religious connection. For Christians, the most famous event on a Thursday was the Last Supper--the Ultimate thanksgiving feast---rooted, of course, in Judaism's Passover. Truly secular, but firmly rooted in our faith traditions.

Useless activities like time with family and friends and a few minutes to consider the blessings that we have?

Editor I truly feel sorry for what appears to be your empty life. I hope you can find a way to find fullfilment through building something of value rather than seeking to destroy the values of others.

Happy Thanksgiving sir.

I give thanks for the opportunity to engage in such mindless and useless activities, as well as those like debating mindless and useless individuals. To them also I hope for God's grace and blessings, for without them, we'd only have reasonable, like-minded folk with whom to debate, and where's the fun in that?

C'mon editor... it read more like concern for your emotional wellbeing than an "attack".

Based on what I've read here, I have hard time imagining you as a person who smiles much... if ever.
