CNN recently published an article about how we can celebrate a “green” Thanksgiving, providing ‘advice’ on how to prevent waste, how to dress up our dishes simply to preserve resources, how to save scraps, and how to take stock of what we have before we shop. Strangely, these are things we have always done traditionally for different reasons - stretching our money or respecting what we have - and they have nothing to do with the “green” movement. This cult ideology is thus attempting to rewrite tradition, history, culture, and our holidays.
Thanksgiving is about family and friends, but it is also about abundance and a cornucopia of plenty; it is about being thankful, grateful, and happy with what we have be it little or excessive. Materalism opposes reasoning in our search for happiness and success, but having an excess of wealth and food is something we need to put into context. What is wealth and what is excess? We should not be complacent and accepting of having less and less because we already have plenty. We should not be corned and lectured about our wealth or abundance, and convinced to give it up so we can be poorer like others. We should use our wealth and abundance to help others.
