why do americans celebrate thanksgiving day and the next day everybody is buying things in the super market because there are low prices? but according to the history the natives of USA were eliminated after the conquest then what's the purpose of celebrating thanksgiving day is like columbus meeting the first americans in Hispanola where they offer him gold and stuff like that and after that many countries like Spain and UK conquest the whole American continent

It's when christian Americans thank their god for letting them kill all of the Native Americans.

OK, first of all you need to learn to edit. Most of what you wrote is rambling and incoherent.



Thanksgiving is not a Christian celebration by any measure. It was established by the US Government and the date set by law. It is based on the harvest feast the Pilgrams shared with the local natives in 1621 to celebrate surviving their first year in the New World. That's all it is, really, a good, old-fashioned, harvest festival that got moved to late Autumn.



Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is the traditional start of the Christmas shopping season. I agree that it has gotten badly out of hand and now people are beginning to revolt against the insanity of it.

For all of your dreams and wishes to come true, Pray the Holy Rosary for world peace and for all of Gods children to pray the Holy Rosary, And explore and discover the many gifts of APPARITIONS and the PIETA PRAYER BOOK that God has sent for your spiritual guidance, enjoyment and enrichment and great will be your rewards in heaven.

Merry Christmas,and here is a loving hug for all of Gods children.

Christ-ian = the end of the fLAWs.

Ameri-can = nation still under law.



Some day America will grow UP,

by "grow in grace" void of fLAWs.



If not, then like twice fallen Baby-lon,

fallen to Great<--Greater<--Greatest,

it will get double what it dished out,

by having Great tribulation until

all kindreds wail instead of rejoice

It's a national holiday not a Christian one.

Thanksgiving is a secular holiday. If people wish to thank some deity they are welcome to do it. You seem to be ignorant of actual history.
