Thanksgiving + Black Friday

Yay! It's Thanksgiving Day! Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating it ^.^ The funny thing is, I don't even celebrate Thanksgiving but still decided to dedicate one post of my blog just to talk about it. I hope you people don't mind :)

Actually, I've never care much about Thanksgiving or should I say I'm rather ignorant about it. I'm a late learner. I just found out today that Thanksgiving is celebrated every fourth Thursday in November. In the past, I just assume that some people celebrate Christmas while some celebrate Thanksgiving on 25th Dec annually. Okay, I admit my foolish mistake. It's still better late than never right? :D



There are many things that I'm thankful for. If I can just say one, that would be my FAMILY is still around with me. It's hard to imagine my life without them. They are the ones who will stick with me through thick and thin. Without them, I'll probably live the rest of my life without any hope. That's why family is so important to me.


The situation expected :)

The real situation today :O

People always associate Thanksgiving with turkey. Well, people also consume turkey for Christmas. Honestly, this is why I have the confusion between Christmas and Thanksgiving in the past! o_O Does turkey taste good? I heard people saying how turkey taste like chicken and roast pork. I wouldn't know because I've never tried it.


I wonder if this ever happened...

Another thing that I learned is Black Friday. I've always thought that Black Friday is the name people called it when they are sad, gloomy and emotional on Friday and they just stay at home doing nothing instead of having fun outside during the weekend. Believe it or not, that is what I really thought until yesterday! Today, I found out that Black Friday is the name given to the day after Thanksgiving. It's also the day where many people shop a lot especially for the coming Christmas.

Now that I've cleared my little confusions, I realised how ignorant I am. I should definitely try to enrich myself before I really become a laughingstock to others. Then I found this quote by Sandra Magsamen. ["Every day is an opportunity to learn something or discover something or someplace. Be curious, play, go out on a limb, walk a different way to work, try a new food at dinner and keep learning and growing"] It's so true. There must be some new things that we never knew before, unless you are a lamp!
