Thanksgiving: Holiday or Holy Day?
      

The beauty of Thanksgiving for a plural people is that it binds individuals of widely disparate beliefs together for one purpose on one special day.  

No one religious tradition can claim ownership over the act of giving thanks, and none can lay claim to Thanksgiving Day.  In fact, though it is sometimes marked by corporate worship, it is mainly a day for families to give thanks in the context of the home, each in their unique way.

In a land where common threads can be few, Thanksgiving acts as an important tie.
