Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. Being a foreigner, I find this festival essential to the American life. The fabric of family is rather little loose in American families as compared to other countries. So, this festival acts as a bonding agent for the families. Loved ones from all around the country come back to their homes for Thanksgiving. The sight of all the family members sitting at the dining table, chit-chatting, sharing their daily lives, catching up on lost time. All these scenarios play a key role in keeping the family together.

I feel that we need few more such festivals. I know we have Christmas. But, we should have couple more such festivals. This will help the families communicate more. They will benefit the individuals as they will share few happy moments with their near and dear ones. After Christmas, this is the festival that I enjoy the most.
