Any time that families can get together is a time to give thanks, and I don't care who invented the day.<br /><br />(Taking a small break before all my company arrives)Ritanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-77173299381956024172009-11-26T11:24:01.436-05:002009-11-26T11:24:01.436-05:00"someone once told me that Jews don't nee..."someone once told me that Jews don't need a day called Thanksgiving because we give thanks every day for all the blessings we are given."<br /><br />yeah, because the Jewish calendar doesn't have any days set aside for us to show we are thankful for national redemption, good harvests, etc.Lion of Zionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342299133387602141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-7822301084426078012009-11-26T10:51:11.837-05:002009-11-26T10:51:11.837-05:00I'll second the thanks for that official day o...I'll second the thanks for that official day off.
