This year, for the first time since 1888, Thanksgiving and Hanukkah coincide in what many in the Jewish community are calling “Thanksgivukkah.” The eight-day Jewish holiday begins at sundown on Wednesday. The next day is Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is about pilgrims and history...and turkey, of course; but most importantly, it's a holiday all about everything that we are thankful for!
Thanksgiving presents definite opportunities to appreciate where you came from and how far you've come ...considering 'where' you came from.
Are you looking forward to this year at your Thanksgiving gathering? Is there someone that you could ask to join your Thanksgiving gathering?
Well, I must say, it should be an important and blessed event for all. We have so much to be thankful for, and help the less unfortunate who are struggling in their every day life.
No one should be hungry on Thanksgiving, we live in the Land of Plenty, and we just need to spread the ‘plenty’ around a little bit sometimes.
In this time of year when so many worthy causes are asking for your spare change...give, even if it's a dollar or less! Realistically, everyone can only do so much...but we can ensure that at least one evening will be filled with warmth, food and love and help a family take at least one night off from the stress and worry they deal with every other day of the year!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

ReplyDeleteHi Elisabeth! A double celebration is always one to look forwards to. And you are right, we have to be thankful for what we have and spare a thought for the less fortunate. A small contribution from each of us will add up and it will mean a lot to those in need.

ReplyDeleteHi Elisabeth,
ReplyDeleteMost of us don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia but I know some of our Jewish friends celebrate Hanukkah here... Sadly, I don't even know that both celebration coincide on the same day until you mention it :p
Happy belated Thanksgivukkah!
