Our latest collection of happy Thanksgiving quotes on Everyday Power Blog.
Thanksgiving day is one of the most cherished holidays because it’s the one day we gather with friends and family to reflect on what we are grateful for. It is a day to spend quality time with our loved ones, count our blessings, and eat a delicious meal.
Held on the fourth Thursday in November, the holiday originated as a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621 after a successful growing season. It has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, when George Washington declared Thursday, November 26, a Thanksgiving holiday.
Its celebration was intermittent until 1863 when it became a federal holiday after President Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving an official holiday to be celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November every year.
Although Thanksgiving is a time to cherish with your loved ones, you might get a little tongue-tied when trying to express your feelings about the holiday. So to get you into the Thanksgiving spirit, here are some inspirational quotes that you can share with your friends and family to show just how thankful you are.
