Uso na pala ang Thanksgiving sa Pilipinas??

Kanina ay um-attend ako ng Thanksgiving Lunch. Akala nyo naman sobrang layo. Dito lang sa kabilang bahay, kila Tita Becka. Mga 15 steps away from our house. Well, galing naman sya ng Amerika  kaya understood na sine-celebrate nya talaga ang Thanksgiving. Di ko naman sukat akalain na marami na pala ang nagse-celebrate nyan dito including malls-- may Thanksgiving Sale sila. Naloka naman ako doon.

Well, it's not bad naman kasi you are giving thanks for your bountiful life. Nakaka-surprise lang kasi parang naki-tradisyon na tayo. Sa akin okay lang naman, wag lang akong pupuwersahin na pabilhin ng Turkey..hahaha..

...at dahil bukod sa mahirap hanapin ay mahal pa ang turkey, nag roasted chicken na lang kami. Hop on over to The Peach Kitchen to check out what we had for Thanksgiving Lunch. {pero bukas na kayo mag-hop on..baka bukas ko pa mai-post..gabi na eh, hahaha}

Good Night!

I agree kung taga-Amerika ang nag celebrate, it's a hard habit to break, pero yung Thanksgiving Sale, medyo OA,obviously na they are using it for commercial purpose.Not that Giving thanks is a bad thing, like you said, but I'm just sayin'.....:D

Hahahaha nakakaloka nga. Thanksgiving is celebrated here in the US because the pilgrims who sailed here to avoid religious persecution gave thanks to God for the blessings and for surviving the harsh, cold winter. Also, for the Indians who taught them skills to survive.

I agree with you completely - naki-tradisyon tayo, but at the same time, it's the perfect opportunity to give thanks to the Lord Almighty for all His blessings.

So... Happy Thanksgiving, Peach!!!
