Thanksgiving celebrations – it’s all about food and family!
Before the advent of the industrial era, humans relied on what nature provided and a bountiful harvest meant survival for families. There would have been a lot to be thankful for, knowing that your nearest and dearest would be well fed, especially in the lean winter months.
Traditional autumnal vegetables berries, apples & nuts – the sight of nature’s provisions, with all their glorious colours, smells and tastes would have been a time for joy and celebration.
Of course the most well known harvest celebration is Thanksgiving in the US. Dating back to the early 17th century, it was established a national holiday in 1863.
One of the nicest elements to the tradition of Thanksgiving is that it brings families and friends together.
