Thanksgiving
Web Sites
- History
of Thanksgiving – The reason that
we have so many myths associated with Thanksgiving
is that it is an invented tradition. It doesn't originate
in any one event. It is based on the New England puritan
Thanksgiving, which is a religious Thanksgiving, and
the traditional harvest celebrations of England and
New England and maybe other ideas like commemorating
the pilgrims. All of these have been gathered together
and transformed into something different from the
original parts.
