Thanksgiving Day has been a
Fri, 11/27/2009 - 04:32 — Mona_YThanksgiving Day has been a tradition is the United States and Canada. It is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. Thanksgiving day is celebrated in most human cultures, and the American holiday of Thanksgiving falls on the last Thursday of November. So for the occasion, a lot of people are going to look for Thanksgiving Quotes - and cash advances to go on a spree on Black Friday - so why not indulge? Like a lot of holiday quotes, there is the occasional gem dripping with sarcasm, and then there is the obligatory cheese - the kind that goes on a greeting card, that you know is cheesy, the receiver knows is cheesy, but you send it anyway as a matter of course.
