After - Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Mass For The Shut - Out for November 2010Thanksgiving Day in the United States was November 23rd this year, the fourth Thursday in November - as has been the custom for decades. So, why are we offering a thanksgiving celebration after Thanksgiving? I'm offering some Norse wisdom as scripture, and it says much about this. Basically, what Odin offers in these quotes from "Sayings Of The High One" are common sense that should be followed all of the time. And why not the same about Thanksgiving? Could it be that the lessons to be learned from this holiday deserve to be remembered and honored throughout the year? Could it be that the very point of the holiday is one which should be celebrated all of the time? So often, we are so good about observing holidays and other occasions in their season - and don't apply them the rest of the year! If you want proof, look at what happens in the secular world as soon as the Christmas season is over and the tree decorations are packed away. And so we offer, as with all of the Sabbats on our calendar, a celebration along with something to enjoy the whole year!<br /> Blessed Be!
