I’ll have to spend my birthday, Moon Festival, and Thanksgiving Day without them. Irish people in Ireland do not particularly celebrate the American Thanksgiving Day, but because our pack are allies with American werewolves, we’ve included it as a part of our holidays. And third, which in all honesty should be the first reason I’m terrified being here: Cillian O’Ryan. Golden child. Most adored alpha heir. Stealer of my first kiss. Invader of my wet dreams.

The feast. My fork clattered against the plate. My chest tightened. “I don’t think the feast is for me,” I said, bitterness dripping from my tone. She tilted her head. “Why not?” I laughed without humor. “Because it’s not for people like me.” The feast. The Moon Feast. It came once every decade, under the brightest full moon. The whole pack gathered on the training ground to honor the Moon Goddess for her blessings. The Alpha and the elders led the rituals sanctifying the pack, renewing the bond with the throne, blessing the warriors.

A pillar stood before him, and on it was a rusty old lantern; the metal twisting over the transparent cylinder was almost unrecognizable, but yet it attracted lots of revering looks. Mine locked on it too as I listened to Alpha Vaughan's calm baritone. "...Many centuries ago, our progenitors paved a way for the existence of a race of strong and fierce creatures. To their name, we attribute this festival, and to the moongoddess, we attribute our livelihood. This day marks yet another attestation of our strong will, persistence and steadfastness. And I pray to the moongoddess we all live to celebrate this day together again," he concluded, lighting a match. He lit the lantern the same time he

Hopefully she could begin to implement some of these policies by the beginning of the New Year. Ursa looked out the window, suddenly reminded of the time of year. The Vasil country tended to have a warmer climate compared to her own country, but it was getting noticeably chiller. ‘It’s almost that time of year…’ she thought as she put her stamp in the drawer. That was enough work for today, especially since dinner would be ready soon. It seemed as though the Vasils were not very festive in regards to the Feast of Ephranella, one of Ursa’s favorite holidays. It occurs once a year and it celebrates the successful harvest, and gives thanks to the Lower Goddess of the Harvest, Ephranella. It was

Just say let's pray! Xanne: Dayna, chill..you know it's only been 3 years since mom came back from Balsheen-Earth. Let her adjust a bit. Mom, can you tell us the story again? Younger Brother: (While everyone else was busy talking this young man took his seat and slammed his fists together and screamed aloud as he closed his eyes) MAY WE GIVE THANKS TO THE CYCLE FOR IT'S OFFERING AND THOSE OFFERED, MAY WE THANK THE TRUE FATHER FOR HIS HAND THAT WATCHES OVER US, MAY WE THANK OUR MOTHER FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL MEAL, AND MAY WE THANK MY FORK CAUSE DIBS!!

As werewolves, we don’t really celebrate the human holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving, but as werewolf lore, however inaccurate, is often part of the Halloween vibe, we try to have some fun with it for the pups’ sakes. With our pack being more integrated into the human world than some other packs, joining in on some of their celebrations is a good way to keep the peace between our kinds. And to their credit, many humans return the effort. We put out pumpkins and ghost decorations for Halloween, and cornucopias and turkeys for Thanksgiving, and in turn, they close their shops early and keep a quieter pace during the Somber Howl and stay up all night,

I blushed, smiling as I looked down. Alanna sat down on the other side of me and smiled, then took a sip of her wine. Frank clanked a spoon on the side of his crystal wine glass, attracting our attention. “As we all know, today is Thanksgiving,” Frank said, as he squeezed Roxanne’s hand on top of the table and she smiled. “And it’s a day to stop and reflect on all of the things we are thankful for. Everyone, let’s bow our heads.” Everyone joined hands and bowed their heads. “Dear Lord, thank you for this wonderful food and for all of us being together, and please bless our loved ones who are not here with us.” My heart tugged in my chest as I remembered Logan, my parents, and Greer. “Thank y

"Whosoever... but I know it isn't a she", Mrs Douglas replied, as she immediately walked ahead of them, she wasn't in the mood for argument. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the sweet fellowship of the holy spirit abide with us, forever and ever... Amen", came the loud voice of the participants who had come for the Parker's Thanksgiving. "Once again, I thank all of you for honoring our invitation, I am so glad and happy that the turnout was massive", Mr Parker was giving an appreciation speech on behalf of his wife and his children.

Funke asked as we locked the apartment door. “Yeah, Ethan told me about it. But isn’t it too early to plan thanksgiving, it’s still November,” I replied and arched my brow. “Oh, as if you don’t know how high society uses months to plan a simple party. If it’s taking four weeks to plan Thanksgiving, how long do you think they’ve been planning Christmas?”

she chuckles, reminding me of tomorrow. Thanksgiving is the day when families reunite. The day when you have to sit down and act as if everything is perfect in life. The day you to suck up your hatred towards the world and everyone you dislike and be thankful. Thanksgiving for my family means a huge get together where all their coworkers and friends flood our house, bringing store-bought pumpkin pies and fruitcakes. Oh, and let's not forget the endless bottles of cheap wine.
