I know only Michael celebrated Christmas with his children, but what about Thanksgiving. Did Michael celebrate that and does his family celebrate it . I feel so bad for the poor children. :(
 
As In Mike as a child, nope I don't think Jehovah Witness celebrate those types of holidays. (But then again, I'm not religious and hardly know anything about religion so don't take my word for it :( )

As in Michael with his children, maybe I haven't heard anything about it, but I guess they probably celebrate it.
 
um yea the family celebrates. my cuz and i were invited in 05 for thanksgiving the night of tito's show but we had other plans. so yea, the fam gets together. lol
 
the don't think they always celebrate holidays on the actual days like they have a joe jackson day instead of a father's day and i heard they had a family dinner last night which is like their thanksgiving. but they're adults now and they're not all jehovah witness anymore so i think most do celebrate holidays but do stuff like this in respect to some family members.
 
thanksgiving they do .and yea, applehead. we were gonna go but it just wasn't in the cards for us. i was sick, my cousin and i just wanted to go home! Lol too much jaxxon excitement from thenight before so we were kinda full on jackson at that point.
 
If you look at Austin's and Genevieve's Twitter they both tweeted a few hours ago about having pre thanksgiving dinner at their grandmother's house.

Soso you're so flippin lucky, you were crazy not to go.

I'm from the UK so don't really know what Thanksgiving is :/ !
 
it's when the yanks spent their first november in the us....the colonies. so they asked the indians how to prepare things so the indians prepared a feast for them....then they killed them off later. great, right?

and yea, i wish we would've gone but just eh lol we were jaxxone'd out and tired and cranky. and plus there was some dude who was on a bus and held it hostage. regardless, we were right down the street from miss katherine but still, i didn't feel like a flat iron, ralph's run for grease! Lol

Along with introducing diseases like small pox to the Native Americans which can be included in the genocide b/c it killed them too.

Jermaine talks about their Thanksgiving Dinner in a CNN article. It's posted in the Daily News thread.

Yeah, Manifest Destiny, Trail Of Tears, etc. Columbus Day never made any sense to me either.
 
seeing as this talk is going abit political i sometimes wonder why afro americans celebrate as there ancestors had no choice about coming to the USA.its not like say u are a euro immigrant whos family came to escape the famine in ireland for example so theres something to be thankful for

All Africans & blacks didn't come to the USA as slaves. Some were here before Columbus "discovered" America like the Olmecs and Moors. The Chinese also came to North America before Columbus. Japanese also settled in parts of Mexico. There's still the big head statues of Olmecs in Mexico, there were some in the US but they were destroyed by the settlers.
 
we celebrate it because its an american holiday, yeah its kinda messed up the way it came about but we are still americans. were not the only minority that celebrates it
 
michael celebrated it with his children, i dont know about his relatives.

Ohh ok :/ Hmmm, I thought it was celebrating the harvest.. saying thank you. Guess I'm wrong!

and yea, i wish we would've gone but just eh lol we were jaxxone'd out and tired and cranky. and plus there was some dude who was on a bus and held it hostage. regardless, we were right down the street from miss katherine but still, i didn't feel like a flat iron, ralph's run for grease! Lol

Lol k well you're a lucky lady anyway, I'm sure you know.

A dude on a bus holding it hostage, scary, nothing that exciting happens where I live. Same old, same old every day, gets boring...not that I'd particularly want to be held hostage though!
 
...and various celebrities have been talking about it being a day to be..thankful for and to celebrate the positive things you have in life, and your family and others around you.

Guess the public have reclaimed the meaning of the day then.

yehh thats more in line with what I thought! that is obviously more along the lines of why people celebrate thanksgiving nowadays, I can't see people celebrating for the other reason, even if that is where the day originated from.

Most people do on Thanksgiving yes.....but Christmas...I guess is up to the individual family choice...like I make ham on Christmas....some may make Turkey others may make roasts or whatever they choose..Christmas is a beautiful holiday and really is not a food holiday as far as I am concerned....to me it means the birth of My Lord and Savior..
 
Well in the UK Christmas is our only celebration and it is to celebrate the birth of Jesus, and thats how we celebrate - with a feast :D

Some people don't do Christmas and celebrate Chanukah or Kwanzaa instead.
