Giving Thanks: A Message from Alliance Relocation Service
As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, we at Alliance Relocation Services want to take a moment to reflect on the importance of this holiday. Thanksgiving is more than just a day for a festive meal; it’s a time to pause, gather with loved ones, and express gratitude for the blessings in our lives. For many of us, Thanksgiving represents cherished traditions, delicious food, and quality time with family. It’s also a chance to honor the spirit of unity and thankfulness that has been a part of this day for centuries.
A Brief History of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving in America traces its origins back to 1621, when the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people came together in Plymouth to celebrate a successful harvest. This three-day feast of thanks was a gathering of different cultures, sharing food, resources, and gratitude. For the Pilgrims, it was a time to acknowledge the support and survival skills shared by the Wampanoag, which helped them endure the harsh winters. The gathering symbolized peace, cooperation, and a shared hope for the future—a message that remains just as powerful today.
Over the years, Thanksgiving became an official holiday thanks to the efforts of Sarah Josepha Hale, a writer and editor who believed the nation needed a day of unity and gratitude. President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863 during the Civil War, hoping that a day of thanks would help heal and unify the country. Today, Thanksgiving continues to be a day to celebrate community, compassion, and gratitude for the freedoms and opportunities we share.

Thanksgiving is an opportunity to give thanks for our blessings, both big and small. We can be thankful for the comforts of home, the security of community, and the freedoms we enjoy in this country.
