Gifts For Giving To Celebrate Thanksgiving

Ever since the 1800's, people in the United States have commemorated Thanksgiving by duplicating the image of the pilgrims and the Indians meeting together for a amiable feast. As pretty as this image of friendship may well be, it is not true. The account of pilgrims and Indians was one of one-sided friendship. while the Indians presented the pilgrims with goods and education to stay alive their first winter the pilgrims gave thanks to them by brutally murdering and striking them. Even though this is not what we prefer to think about as we get together to feast with our loved ones, perhaps it creates a new point of view to the day. The pilgrims were selfish and dubious. They took from the Indians and gave back in the worst ways possible. Maybe instead of copying the romanticized idea of the pilgrims and Indians as friends each Thanksgiving, we should consider on the hatred the Indians met at the hands of their "friends" the pilgrims. Now I don't mean to imply that Thanksgiving should be a formal day of reproach and remembrance, but perhaps we should take the chance to think about our own friendships. Of all the things we give thanks for on Thanksgiving, the persons we love should be at the very top. Thanksgiving is not only an event for us to discuss our countless blessings with our loved ones, but to express our thankfulness for their devoted friendship.
