some holidays may have started badly but its the reasons we celebrate them now that really matter

...Hundreds+ years ago pilgrimes(not pirates) thanked God for surviving in unharvested year, and for kindness - natives, who taught them to survive. Since then Thanksgiving, step-by-step, became the day of Family-together (table with dishes, etc.) If m-me Jolie does not like to cook, that's her business, but it's nothing to do with political persuations. She is too self-centered, too poor-minded to speak out about that subject.

Goodness. The way things get mixed up is indeed simultaneously sad and funny. I've lived in Europe for 12 years and they celebrate Thanksgiving, as well, just at slightly different times. It's called, for example, "Ernte Dank Fest" in Germany and is simply translated, "Harvest Thanks Festival," which *suprise!* is where our Thanksgiving came from, is based upon and still supposed to mean. How it became associated with the massacre of the Native Americans is a little twist of interpretation down through the generations. And actually, the Native Americans were part of the original Pilgrims' Thanksgiving as they were the ones who taught the newly-arrived Europeans how and WHAT to farm in the new country (beans, potatoes and corn didn't exist in Europe back then!).

Boo freaking hoo! Big lips can take all her $$$$ and stick it where the sun don't shine. Such a hypocrite. And Brad is an idiot.

Thanksgiving is not about a day of togetherness and being thankful. This holiday was derived from man slaughter. Hence the reason we feast and do everything the same as in those times. If you don't agree with her, oh well stop reading the article. It has nothing to do with Halloween. Deciding not to celebrate this bs day has nothing to do with demands. It has to do with not supporting the horrid meaning about. You have the choice to not celebrate or to go along with the ignorance behind it and celebrate it. No one is "stupid" because they have their own opinions. So some should put the turkey down for a minute and actually exercise their brains and think about it before insulting one character for agreeing or disagreeing.
