Thoughtful Thursday- Thanksgiving & Giving Thanks

With today being Thanksgiving, I thought it would be fun to share a little history- "In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November." (quoted from http://www.history.com/topics/thanksgiving)

For many of us, today is a day we get together with family and friends to eat delicious food, enjoy one another's company and reflect upon the many wonderful things we've been blessed with. Here's a few things we feel grateful for: our families, our various faiths, our freedoms, our friends, getting to know so many of you either from meeting you at some amazing book signings or getting to know you through our blog and forum, having the chance to meet some amazing authors and books. We have read so many amazing books this year, and we've enjoyed sharing our thoughts on them with you.

Thank you to the support you have given us. Thank you to the all the wonderful authors who have been on our blog this year, for the friendships we've made and the support you've given us. Thank you to the wonderful publishers who have been so supportive of us. Thank you for being apart of our Mundie Moms community

To show our appreciation to all of our MM's, we've got some AWESOME giveaways planned for next month, many of which will be taking place during our BIR2010 giveaways. Mark your calendars for Dec 6th, when 8 other blogger friends and us get together to talk about our favorite reads and give LOTS and LOTS of books away each day for an entire week!!

To all of our forum and blog followers, we hope you have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!
