Today is Thanksgiving Day

Today is Thanksgiving -- perhaps my favorite holiday of the year.

Why?

Well, certainly because of the yummy food and fun fellowship with family and friends --

But also and especially because of how and why this special day originated.

You have hopefully heard many stories about the origin of this special day.

And you may have heard of Squanto and his role in the occasion.

Recently an article in an email from the Khouse.org eNews had a really good summary of the events that preceded and ultimately resulted in the origin of this very special and important Holiday.

And it tells of the role of Squanto. 

Even if you have heard about him before, I think you will find this brief article to be very important, interesting, and instructive.

In fact, you might even want to print it out and read it aloud as you gather around the Thanksgiving table today.
