This perhaps would be the most unique Thanksgiving in the history of America. The nation has gone through such economic turmoil recently that people have been finding it hard to have celebrations of any kind. When Guideposts.com conducted a survey recently, it was surprised to find out that only 11% of the population said they wouldn’t be celebrating thanksgiving. The rest of them however have decided to meet friends and family, donate to charity and of course feed the hungry.

Perhaps, the economic downturn has helped Americans realize that it is very important to be thankful to what we have right now, and count our blessings than cursing our fate and not showing gratitude to fellow citizens who have contributed to the society however negligible the contribution could be. Another interesting facet of this year’s Thanksgiving is that there have been heartwarming stories all over the net about saying that magical word ‘Thanks’.

Most Americans have lived by the policy of showing gratitude and share their fortunes with others. Some of these stories can be found online at websites like GuidePostsMag. In any case, this Thanksgiving, make sure you count your blessings, share your joy and fortune with friends, family and strangers and express gratitude, which is the soul of Thanksgiving Day.
