A 50th Anniversary keepsake: Tips and Planning
Posted on Monday, October 10 @ 11:54:48 CDT | Topic: Holidays
A milestone that many around the world set out to one day accomplish, should
only be accompanied by the best and personalized ideas. Not only should they be
memorable but personalized, so they can incorporate the dynamic resemblance and
atmosphere of that special memory. Whom ever plans for the occasion should
always take into consideration the time needed for planning and following up
with contacts, time and availability is very scarce and if it will include
family and friends, using the right communication is essential for accommodating
those who have been near and dear in the couples personal life.
Personalization is the key in making this moment a true milestone, for every
couple has a distinctive and different experience; even though they all share
the joy of memories bestowed upon them that day. It should be no exception that
this 50th wedding anniversary goes without joy and warmth in the hearts to the
heirs of another blessed anniversary.
Why Do We Celebrate Thanksgiving?
Posted on Wednesday, October 05 @ 00:57:15 CDT | Topic: Holidays
In the United States of America, citizens celebrate the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving. As a legally recognized holiday, government and schools close in recognition of this day. Families meet to feast together and watch football. While the traditional turkey dinner mimics the intent of the original Thanksgiving meal, many celebrants question why we celebrate the holiday.
To discover why the entire country celebrates Thanksgiving, one must travel back in time to September 1620. Pilgrims wishing to escape religious persecution in Europe sailed to the New World in 1620. With the intention to land in the colony of Virginia, their ship The Mayflower instead headed north and landed on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in November 1620.
Faced immediately with winter’s inclement weather, the Pilgrims were unable to erect shelters or plant food. Half of this zealot community sacrificed their lives that first, harsh winter. Miraculously, a Native American rescued the Pilgrims in 1621. Samoset and English speaking Squanto taught the surviving Pilgrims how to hunt wildlife and plant corn. In October of 1621, the Pilgrims harvested their crops. To celebrate their gratitude, the settlers invited the Indians to join them for a three-day feast. With thanksgiving to Almighty God for His blessings and the abundant harvest, the community surrounding Plymouth generously shared the bounty they grew, trapped, and caught.

Mother's Day Celebrations

The modern Mother's Day has one person to thank for making it a national day of celebration and that person is Anna Jarvis. Anna Jarvis' mother founded Mother's Day Work Clubs in American cities to improve sanitation and health and also to treat soldiers with neutrality. After her mother's death, Anna campaigned to make Mother's Day not only a day of remembrance for her own mother but as a national holiday and day of celebration for mothers everywhere.
