The Thanksgiving Day

Hello everybody!

I don't know what it's coming, but this theme is more difficult than the last... Ok, no more complaints because I'm just enjoyng this thing to write... So, today I have to speak a little bit about the THANKSGIVING, the name is alredy self-explanatory, but here's some of the history about this celebration. Thanksgiving is an annual holiday which people thank God for the happiness an good things. There's a contradition about when, exactly, the tradional event started. In Canada they celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October, however, in the United States the celebration is on the fourth Thursday in November.

As I told before, thanksgiving is a tradional event, so there are some details they will always going through. The turkey, for example, means an offer and nearly 90 percent of Americans eat the bird (curiously, there's a national federation for the turkeys). They also have other traditional food like mashed potatos and pumpkin pie. It's the day for gather the family together, so normaly they cook together, in my opinion to be with your family makes you feel better, I think it's in this time when people realize how much someone means in their lives. The family being together it's an other symbol for the thanksgiving.

Of course there are people who prefers to stay in the church or alone to pray, probably it's a real religious thougths, maybe something is related to the beliefs. There are those ones who go to watch a parade. Parades are an integral part of the holiday in United States. New Yorks's Thanksgiving Day parade is the largest and the most famous one. Other way to thank for something is the volunteering, you can offer a dinner or just help someone in a community. It's the most beatiful gesture.

Here, in Brazil, we do have a day for Thanksgiving (I didn't know before searching), there's a law which established also the fourth Thursday in November. In our case, it was a diplomatic thing, because the an ambassador was in U.S. and saw the celebration. And it isn't a holiday. So, this idea of thank didn't work here.

I know it isn't Thanksgiving day yet, but I want to say what am I thankful for: I'm thankful for being alive, thankful for my family and the ones I love and I'm really thankful for having no regrets and only good things in my life. And how about you, what are you thankful for?

Astrology: Believe or not

Hello my readers. How are u today? ps: Hello teacher :D
Ok, today I'm gonna talk about the Horoscope, so I have a question to start this: Who had never ever read something about your sign? Just raise your hand. I think you're human lost link (yeah, I'm kidding). But, there are things you probably don't know, like we have more then three kinds of horoscopes, I'm not inventing...
Zodiac Sign Horoscope: The most known, everyone knows your sign. If I'm not wrong this one comes from the greek culture, it is related with the planets, stars and nature events.
Chinese Horoscope: There is a legend behind this kind of horoscope, each animal corresponds to a different year.
Druid Horoscope: This one establishes a relation between trees and humans.
Zoroastrian Horoscope: This is the most complicated. It envolves totem, animals, 32 years and symbols.
Parents Horoscope: With this horoscope, you can find out what father/mother you're, before you being one...
Mythology Horoscope: This is like the opposite of the Zodiac Sign Horoscope, because Mythology Horoscope talk about the person's negative side.
Pets Horoscope: Yes, it is what you're thinking. As the Zodiac Sign Horoscope this one was based in the astrology.
Now you have many options, just choose one to read... And don't forget to choose if you want to read a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly one.
The most curious thing I found is that the Astronomy disagrees with Astrology, both of them studies the sky, but there is a gulf between them. The astronomers says that Astrology is based on magic not science (little bit rude don't you think?). So, if we follow their thoughts we can conclude that Astrology is a blind faith, ant it is always bad to believe in something really mysterious.
Of course we can ignore the impact of horoscopes in our lives. I don't believe at all. I read, but it doesn't mean I do everything that "stars" said I have to. You can believe, it is optional, the world won't accuse you of witchcraft (I hope that).

For now, that's it. I hope you liked.
See you soon then.
