Five Other Thanksgiving Holidays

Families and friend gather together on Thanksgiving Day to eat and give thanks for the blessings we have. It's a truly American holiday. But as much as we appreciate the Pilgrims' contribution to our holiday calendar, they are far from the first to set aside a holiday to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. Here are some other thanks-giving holidays from around the world, in a classic mental_floss article I wrote back in 2008.

Not to be a downer but I just happened this today -- http://arbroath.blogspot.com/2016/11/i-need-to-take-short-break-from-doing.html

I trust we all join in wishing Kevin recovers his health and returns to form.
