Wait little kitty is Thanksgiving
Wait little kitty is Thanksgiving. So do not forget to say a heartfelt thank you before eating. Well, to know that little struggle back in time to answer a thankful question, why do we celebrate Thanksgiving? Zoom in thanksgiving is a holiday that takes place on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States, and on the second Monday of October, in Canada. Initially, it was celebrated to give thanks to God for the harvest. But today, it is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to show gratitude for all the good things we have and come together for a good meal that traditionally consists of a turkey, potatoes, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, stuffing, vegetables, and pumpkin pie. But the vital question is, why do we celebrate this occasion in the first place? Well, it all began way back in September 16 20. In England, when 102 passengers called pilgrims boarded a ship called the Mayflower. Unaware of the challenges in front, they cruised across the ocean to start a new life. And after a demanding 66 days of journey, they reached Cape Cod Bay in Massachusetts of the United States. But the weather here was too harsh and cold to deal with. Because of which many travelers fell ill and were forced to stay in the boat, which unfortunately claimed many lives. After a while, the spring came as a ray of New Hope, and the remaining pilgrims settled into a village called climbers. Over there, the Pilgrims met various Native American tribes that had lived and prospered there for at least 10,000 years. These generous native people shared essential survival knowledge with the pilgrims, and taught them how to grow crops in this land. Without this act of generosity and friendship, the foreigners wouldn't have survived another winter. But with the help of dead neighbors, the crops grew well, that fall. So to welcome the harvest, the Pilgrims invited the Native Americans for a feast to celebrate the occasion for the first time in November 16 21. Then later, in 1623, they named the event Thanksgiving, which became a regular event afterward. But it wasn't an official holiday until Abraham Lincoln sheduled. Thanksgiving for the final Thursday in November 1863. Since then, it is celebrated every year in the United States as a symbol of gratitude, family bonding, and friendship. But remember, my friends, for most of us, Thanksgiving signifies a peaceful, historic meeting between the pilgrims and Native Americans. However, unfortunately, this wasn't always the case, as colonizing this land caused countless negative experiences that resulted in the demise of many indigenous people. So, let us take this opportunity to acknowledge the truth and correct what was wrong by helping each other and indulging ourselves in acts of kindness, love and compassion for all living beings. And the first step towards it is by being thankful to ancient Native Americans for sharing their knowledge with visitors and making this band a wonderful place to be on time. Did you know Each year a live turkey is presented to the President of the USA, who then pardons the turkey and it gets to live out his life on a farm. Also, according to an estimation, around 88% of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving. hope you learn something new today. And before I go, I would like to thank each one of our viewers for being such a wonderful audience. So, thank you, my friends, and a very happy Thanksgiving Never mind

A BLUE HAIKU
This haiku was inspired by the color “Baby Blue”. This color often mistaken for the color turquoise, has been used to distinguish between having a boy or girl at birth (i.e., the boy wears baby blue and the girls wear a pastel pink). It has also been the symbol of distinguishing ancient and old families as “Aristocrats” and not just “High Society”, “Old Money”, "swinger" and/ or “common”.
