the River of forgetfulness

My hours are married to Shadows....

“In the hours they spent chewing my bones, I grew a stone for my heart, and poisoned the rivers that ran through me. I studied the bloodless moon.”

While Thanksgiving is usually traced back to a 1621 meal between pilgrims and Native Americans, its origins as a national holiday are much more recent.

On Oct. 3, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation declaring the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving. He saw the occasion as a peaceful interlude amid the Civil War.

 

 

MasterBear​(other butch) - We do not celebrate. This is a day- that to us marks decades of genocide.

Literate Lycan​(dom male) - I celebrate for all the positive reasons most of us can come up with. I like the interlude to peace amid the numerous issues of the day, especially today.

Thank you for your post.

WhatamIfightingfor​(dom male) - The first one was peaceful. It was later generations that committed the atrocities and force it on the south.
