Thanksgiving
Our church has one Mass a day and on Thanksgiving it becomes a big deal. Instead of holding it in the chapel, as they do daily masses, it's in the main church to accomodate those who wish to come and Thank God for the blessings they have received throughout the year.
It's not a Catholic holy day of obligation, it's just a "national holiday", approved by the US government, but it's one of those holidays that allows all people of faith, which faith they chose to participate in, to acknowledge the presence of a higher authority in their lives. I just hope no one ever finds out it's the only "religious" holiday started not by a church, but by a government.
Happy Turkey and parade and football day to you and your family.
