Thanksgiving and Fall-Winter Festivals

Thanksgiving Day is an American celebration full of light and dark and contrasts. The story begins when in 1621 the Wampanoag nation of Plymouth,

Massachusetts invited European settlers to share the feast of gratitude for the autumn harvests. In 1863 Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving Day as a national holiday. However, it was not until 1941 with the government of Franklin D. Roosevelt that it was officially established through Congress as the last Thursday of November of each year.

And it is during this November season that families and friends gather to have dinner and give thanks for everything they have had in the year. It may seem irrelevant, but, unlike Christmas and the New Year’s party, on this day we give thanks for the love, freedom and prosperity we had. We take advantage of it to give to others not in the form of gifts, but in gratitude, to share what we have. Although Thanksgiving is not celebrated in Latin American countries, in the homes of those who have already settled in the United States, the date is used to socialize and share traditional foods from their countries. They undoubtedly accompany or replace turkey with tamales, pozole, pupusas, rice with beans, roast pork or loin, tostones, mondongo, among other delicacies.

It is important to take into account that for the cultures of different countries, the celebrations that unite the seasons of autumn and winter abound, some are associated with the harvest, the migration of birds, butterflies, or, as a prelude to Christmas, a cultural encounter. A visit to the state of Michoacán during the month of November is a destination not to be missed, between the Day of the Dead festivities at the beginning of November, along with the spectacular landscapes of Lake Camécuaro, followed by a visit to the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary during its migration and closing with a visit to the spectacular Glass Ball Fair in the Magical Town of Tlapujahua, with Christmas balls that go beyond traditional designs by exploring designs with monarch butterflies and floral motifs from the region.

Then, to close the month, there is the city of Guadalajara, where the International Book Fair begins on the last weekend of November, the most important in Latin America and which is surrounded by a series of cultural activities that complement the book presentations by great writers, editors and scientists at the International Book Fair, as well as visual arts exhibitions, plays, cinema, concerts and, of course, a gastronomic tour that should not be missed.

Día de Acción de Gracias y Festivales de Otoño-Invierno

El Día de Acción de Gracias o Thanksgiving es un día de celebración estadounidense lleno de claroscuros y contrastes.

La historia que da inicio fue cuando en 1621 la nación Wampanoag de Plymouth, Massachussetts invitaron a los colonizadores europeos a compartir el festín de gratitud por las cosechas de otoño. En 1863 Abraham Lincoln proclamó al Día de Acción de Gracias como un día festivo a nivel nacional. Sin embargo, fue hasta 1941 con el gobierno de Franklin D. Roosvelt que se estableció oficial a través del congreso como el último jueves de noviembre de cada año. 

Y es en esta temporada de noviembre que las familias y amistades se reúnen para cenar y dar gracias por todo aquello que se ha tenido en el año. Puede parece irrelevante, pero, a diferencia de Navidad y de la fiesta de Año Nuevo, en este día se agradece por el amor, la libertad y la prosperidad que se tuvo. Se aprovecha para dar a los demás no en forma de regalos, sino de gratitud, compartir lo que se tiene.

Aunque en los países iberoamericanos no se celebra el Thanksgiving, en las casas de quienes ya se han establecido en los Estados Unidos se aprovecha la fecha para convivir y compartir con comidas tradicionales de sus países, sin duda acompañan o sustituyen el pavo con tamales, pozole, pupusas, arroz con habichuelas, lechón o lomo al horno, tostones, mondongo, entre otras delicias.

Es importante tomar en cuenta que para las culturas de diferentes países las celebraciones que unen las temporadas del otoño e invierno abundan, algunas se asocian con la cosecha, las migraciones de aves, de mariposas, o bien, como antesala de la navidad, encuentro cultura. 

 

La visita al estado de Michoacán durante el mes de noviembre es un destino que no se puede perder, entre las festividades del Día de Muertos a principios de noviembre, junto con los espectaculares paisajes del lago Camécuaro, para seguir con la visita al Santuario de la Mariposa Monarca en su migración y cerrar con una visita a la espectacular Feria de las Esferas de Vidrio en el Pueblo Mágico de Tlapujahua, con esferas navideñas que superan los diseños tradicionales explorando diseños con mariposas monarca y motivos florales de la región.

Después, para cerrar el mes, está la ciudad de Guadalajara, donde el último fin de semana de noviembre comienza la Feria Internacional del Libro, la más importante de Iberoamérica y la cual es rodeada de una serie de actividades culturales que complementan las presentaciones de libros por parte de grandes escritores, editores y científicos en la Feria Internacional del Libro, así como exposiciones de Artes visuales, obras teatrales, cine, conciertos y, por supuesto, un tour gastronómico que no debe faltar.
