Thanksgiving... The Last Holy Day.

Christmas was, at one time, a day when families came together and celebrated the birth of the Savior of mankind; Jesus Christ.

Over time though, a little green and sickly fellow known as Mr. Secular, came along with his double barreled shotgun called 'Tolerance' and blew the holy day of Christ's birth into kingdom come.

In the left barrel, he shot santa clause, and in the right barrel, he shot selfishness. Christianity was altogether unprepared for an attack of this kind, and fell almost without a fight.

The Resurrection of Christ was no different. Spurred on by his success, the little grinch and his shotgun attacked with full fury the day in which we remembered Christ's victory over sin and death.

Tolerance's barrels thundered, blasting out distractions such as 'Easter Bunnies' and chocolate eggs. Pagan to the core, without doubt or apology.

The little grinch was almost completely successful on both counts, with only a handful of people remembering the truth behind these Holy Days, and avoiding the pagan confusion that rained down so heavily in these times. Through time, even the term for these events was changed from Holy Day, to a mere 'holiday'. Reverence is gone.

However, the handful of Christians that were left over have by this time learned that we have to combat the grinch. His shotgun must not attack our last Holy Day: Thanksgiving.

The grinch is letting us poison ourselves slowly with this one, but he has fired his shotgun numerous times as well.

The day is for celebration and remembrance of all the many blessings, great and small, that our Father in heaven has bestowed upon us, despicable, sinful creatures.

Or... wait... Maybe it's about football and turkey, or a turkey with a weird hat, or something like that.

Christmas, Santa Clause. Resurrection Day, Easter Bunny. Thanksgiving, Turkey playing Football, or something like that.

I don't quite remember. The battle is so heated, the fog of war has arisen and I can't quite see clearly. Maybe it's about the Indians... Or those cruel people who stole the land and food from the Indians... What were they called? Pimples? Oh, right. Pilgrims.

Secular America is trying to completely wipe out Thanksgiving, and any other Christian dominated Holy Days. They've succeeded with Christmas and Resurrection Day, but Thanksgiving isn't yet completely gone.

Don't let your minds, or the minds of your family, fall victim to the lies of secular America.

As Brett Harris said on he and his brother Alex's blog, 'The Rebelution',

I understand why non-Christians feel uncomfortable celebrating this Christian Holiday. They might "feel" thankful, but thanks be to whom?!?

If thankfulness includes a readiness to somehow repay kindness or blessing, the very real questions become, "To whom are they repaying?" and "Isn't it inconsistent to feel thankful on Thanksgiving when you have rejected the existence of the very person who's blessed you?"

My favorite, and probably the best all-in-one course on Thanksgiving and the secular attack, is 'Little Bear' Wheelers "The Complete Pilgrim Adventure" from Mantle Ministries. It's a fantastic resource, and split into very easily watchable episodes. Wheeler does a fantastic job presenting the truth and history (his-story, as it's known by Wheeler and his family) of Thanksgiving.

Order it here.

Well, thank you for giving me your time. I realize it is valuable, but hopefully you leave this blog with a refreshed enthusiasm for protecting the 'ancient landmarks' and Holy Days of a Christian Nation.

God Bless you all, and have a wonderful day of prayer and Thanksgiving!
