WHEN IS THANKSGIVING?

Hey everyone!

This year, 2016 thanksgiving is on the 24th of November.

Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated mostly by Americans. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November yearly. Families and friends usually eat meals specially prepared with turkey, spend time together and share what they are thankful for/ to have.

In Nigeria, this is not a recognised celebration. However, it is a good idea for family members to spend time with one another at least once a year and be happy. If you are in Nigeria, I encourage you to organise a family gathering with every member of the extended family present, invite friends, cook and thank God for all He has done from the beginning of this year. It doesn’t even have to be on the 24th Of November, your meal must not be prepared with turkey, and you must not celebrate it like the Americans. What is most important is that you make out time with family and friends to thank God.

Thanksgiving should not only be in November, we should all cultivate the habit of spending special moments with loved ones and families to thank God, especially for the gift of life.


Happy thanksgiving! God bless you!
