A Time for Thanks... and Reflection: The Story of

Thanksgiving is like, the most American holiday ever, right? We picture Pilgrims, turkeys, and a big

feast, all about being thankful. But there's way more to it than just that. It's got a long history, and

not all of it is as simple as the stories we hear in elementary school.

Harvest festivals and giving thanks have been around forever. Think ancient Greeks honoring

Demeter or Jewish celebrations like the Feast of the Tabernacles. Even way back in 1607, British

colonists in Maine gave thanks for arriving safely. But the Thanksgiving we know today? That story

gets a little more complicated.

Some people think the first Thanksgiving actually happened in Virginia in 1619. A colony called

Berkley Hundred held a religious service to celebrate their ship's arrival and said they'd do it every

year. But that colony didn't last, so the Pilgrims got all the credit. The Pilgrims, who landed near

Plymouth Rock, are usually credited with holding a harvest celebration with the Wampanoag tribe

in 1621. They ate things like lobster, clams, and, of course, "wild turkeys".

Here's where it gets tricky. The story we usually hear is all about Pilgrims and Native Americans

having a friendly meal together. But that's only one side of the story. Many Native Americans see

Thanksgiving as a reminder of what they lost when Europeans came to America. After that first

Thanksgiving, things changed quickly. There were massacres and wars, and Native Americans lost

their land and independence. So, for them, Thanksgiving isn't always a happy holiday.

Created with web.diffit.meIt's important to remember that history isn't always simple. There are different perspectives, and

it's good to hear them all. Some people might argue that focusing on the negative aspects of

Thanksgiving is disrespectful to the Pilgrims and the idea of giving thanks. They might say that it's

important to celebrate the good things in our history, even if they're not perfect. But others would

say that ignoring the negative aspects is disrespectful to Native Americans and their experiences.

They might argue that it's important to acknowledge the full history of Thanksgiving, both the

good and the bad.

Over time, Thanksgiving became more than just a harvest celebration. Presidents started

declaring days of Thanksgiving, and Abraham Lincoln made it a national holiday in 1863. The White

House even has its own Thanksgiving traditions, like the turkey pardon. The turkey pardon became

a tradition when President George H.W. Bush pardoned a turkey in 1989.

Today, Thanksgiving is a mix of traditions. We travel to see family, eat a big feast, watch parades

and football, and maybe even break a wishbone. Some people volunteer to help others in need.

But it's also a time to remember the real history of Thanksgiving, with all its complexities, and to

be respectful of different viewpoints. It's a time to be thankful, but also to think about the past

and how it affects the present

Children of certain very naive clan were taught by ignorant mullah. He was illiterate and couldn’t even read in Uzbek. He gave every boy a paper with some lines scratched. The lesson he instructed the, was as follows:
— The price for wedding is the horse.
— The birth of child is great happiness and is followed with great reward.
— The price for giving a name is a strong horse.
— The price for circumcision is three camels.
— The price for pardoning sins is five camels.
Once some other mullah who was wise and literate visited that aul. When he entered madrasah, illiterate mullah start talking to some boy as if teaching him a lesson, though indeed he was addressing the other mullah:
— There is no need to talk much, who needs this chatting? I have fifteen camels and one horse. The half is mine and other half will be yours.

One Tatar once run out from his house on midnight not even taking a hat. He was followed by his scared wife and kinds. Tatar run first, as fast as he could, broke into his neighbor’s house and started looking for the best place to hide.
“What happened?” — the neighbor asked him.
Tatar gathered his breath for a moment and told his story, “For a very long time imps and jinns have been dwelling in my house. Every night when we go to bed, shaitans[19] summon on our roof, they play there, and bump and knock through all the night. I have summoned mullahs to my home for several times already, they said lot of prayers and I spent lot of money, but I still can’t get rid of them. This night imps started run and bump as they do it usually; I lay sleepless also. Suddenly one jinn broke through the roof and jump right upon me. I got up, passed over him and run away. When I was running, I accidentally touched his horns. Apyrai, I didn’t even know shaitans have got horns!
The neighbor was a man wise, so he said, “Let’s go to your house with lantern and take a look at it in the light.
They have asked three or four men with them and went to Tatar’s house. When they entered, they saw that the roof was made of bulrush and was not very sound, and in the middle of the roof there was a hole. Then they looked around the house, and in the corner they saw a nanny goat. It was lying calmly and chewed something.
In a while they heard little goatlings crying on the roof. The goat also heard it, it got up and begun to bleat. Goatlings then descended from the roof through the hole as well, and joined their mother. It turned out, that the nanny goat and goatlingsbelonged to that Tatar and his neighbors. In the nights they came to eat hay, with which the roof was covered, and played there. The nanny goat, that was found in the house, was simply too big, so it broke down inside, leaving the hole in the roof.
