Thanksgiving holds roots in the bountiful feast that pilgrims from England shared with the Wampanoag tribe in the new land known as Plymouth, Massachusetts, back in 1621. After a fruitful harvest, they gathered together to show gratitude for their newfound prosperity, setting the early foundation for Thanksgiving.

It wasn't until President Abraham Lincoln, centuries later in 1863, amid the Civil War, declared a national day meant for 'Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelles in the Heavens.' Since then, it has become an annual celebration embedded in American traditions and culture.

In 1621, Thanksgiving comes from survival, friendship and the gratitude felt by a bunch of English pilgrims following their first good corn harvest.In order to express their thanks to the native Wampanoag tribe for teaching them how to plant crops on land they had never seen before, they distributed food among them at this this.

As the years went by, it gradually faded into obscurity, but it was finally President Lincoln who during the Civil War declared it a national holiday. He was hoping to use the festival as a way of bringing people together.Today it is part and parcel of American culture, a celebration of plenty supporting community, a historical reference to one's nation.

In Plymouth, Massachusetts, 1621 is the root of Thanksgiving. The English Pilgrims brought in a fruitful harvest and spent three days festing with the Wampanoag tribe, local residents. It was an occasion marked by sharing, comradeship and generosity. Some years later, in 1863 during the Civil War, American President Lincoln announced Thanksgiving as a national holiday.

Now let's go back to 1816, at Plymouth. After an unendurable winter and a rich harvest, this joint celebration lasted three days. Watching their belts bulge, the English Pilgrims extended invitations to local Wampanoags to come and feast. The spirit of it all being thanks and love is the essence of Thanksgiving.

And fast forward to 1863, official national holiday was declared by no lesser than the President of this land-Abraham Lincoln. Thus the tradition of Thanksgiving was born, to give gratitude for his bounty and promote a communal spirit fittingly what all who lived on US soil should now know very well indeed from personal experience.

In this spirit my favorite festival of the year is Thanksgiving, and there is none more pleasurable than getting lost in that most Hobbit of J.R.R. Tolkien novels. It feels good to listen to Bilbo Baggins tell us about his wanderings all over Middle Earth-even the simple things like delicious food or awakening from a good night sleep. The celebration of home and family that the Lord of the Rings so successfully foreshadow is more evident in Thanksgiving.Follow the above with Studio Ghibli's 'My Neighbor Totoro': a delightful hand-painted cartoon film that is all about warmth and wonder. Lastly, 'Animal Crossing' will provide all the enjoyment and honoring social courtesies needed. It's a picturesque, story-orientated game where players can build and manage their own island, its positive atmosphere suitable for the holiday season.

In fact, when people ask, "Is Thanksgiving a Pagan Holiday?" My answer must be "No." In historical fact, Thanksgiving never came from a pagan festival. We do know how such a festival emerged: modern Thanksgiving started with a harvest festival to which both the English pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe were invited in 1621. But feeling grateful for what you have, and celebrating the bounty that the earth provides-that doesn't change at all. This concept threads through various cultures and white wealth through numbers, from the Celtic harvest festivals to the Roman festival of Ceres, and all parts of Native American tradition. Just so, while modern Thanksgiving today is not immediately of direct pagan descent, every time period and every spot on earth has surely had its heart feel warm with gratitude (and stomach fill up).
