Loved Jim story of Thanksgiving 100 years ago

It seems as though Thanksgiving is nothing more than a gateway to Black Friday to our society
About: Thanksgiving 100 years ago in 1909 in Columbia KY by "Jim."

By a Sentimental Citizen of Adair Co.

I loved this story about Thanksgiving 100 years ago.

It makes one think of the changes that have taken place within tradition itself but as well as the comaradery that must have been apparent among our community.

I can't imagine what it would have been like to have been alive back then. It seems as though Thanksgiving now is just nothing more than the gateway to Black Friday for our society.

Many have forgotten Thanksgving and went straight to Christmas from halloween.

My sister and I were just talking this week about the changes just within our family in regards to tradition.

It seems with every passing generation things change.

Thanks for the story and the opportunity to reflect but most of all for the subtle reminder to slow down and enjoy those traditions that are familiar to us today, because with the passing of times everything sees a definitely change. Sentimental Citizen.
