Thanksgiving 2008
From us at WordPress to you in the States: Happy Thanksgiving!
Today, we’ll be passing the turkey and stuffing, and sharing what we’re thankful for. Such as…
Jane: “Puppies and rainbows.”
Heather: “Good friends, good food, and good websites.”
Maya: “Cashew, Peanut, my job, my house, and the sun.”
Matt: “The internet.”
What about you?
What has motivated, inspired, enlivened, awakened, and otherwise comforted and thrilled you in 2008? Go on and share what you’re thankful for in a blog post, and be sure to tag it with “Thanksgiving08.”

After many years working with young people in the areas of education and mental health, I’m now in my twilight years. On particular holidays like Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for having a special time to look back over my life and to reminisce about many of the people who’ve touched my life. And in my final years, I’m grateful for “the internet” and especially to WordPress for providing me with a way to continue expressing my interests, thoughts and beliefs to others in the world.
With my Thanksgiving thanks to all,
Disembedded (D. Patrick Zimmerman, Psy.D.)

Hi Heather,
I want to express my gratitude for your work and for the work of all you guys from WordPress.com!
Thanks very much. You and WordPress.com inspired me a lot. It is wonderful to travel and have contact with the world from the own computer, even if I love to travel in real life too.
There is a Thanksgiving Photo on my Blogs and Flickr account, I hope you enjoy it.
Happy Thanksgiving from Berlin, Germany

I love the title Hello World!

Um and WordPress ;3 lol

Maybe it’s a bit lame; but, I’m pleased I moved my personal blog over to WordPress and WordPress.com. Numbers have a dynamic upward curve – one of my fellow editors at [the Big Blog] has joined in – and most surprising for a dedicated hermit like me, I’m in a community that actually feels like a neighborhood.
Have a mellow holiday folks.

I wrote my Thanksgiving blog yesterday, but I am going to do this one as well before I get my day started. Happy Thanksgiving to wordpress, I am thankful to you guys for finally giving me a voice!

Happy Thanksgivings to all of you, we don’t celebrate this holiday here in Sweden.
Stuffed turkey sounds delish.

Here in Portugal we don’t have Thanksgiving, but I’m thankful for three things:
– WordPress;
– The WordPress team, which will help me move my blog to my own server (hopefully);
– The Black Friday: Who cares about that Claus guy when we can buy things ridiculously cheap? 90% off? Sure!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Don’t eat too much turkey, or Iraq will be even more unsafe!
(got the joke? yeah, it was lame.)
November 28th, 2008 at 1:50 am
I’m in Canada. Oh God, I’m thankful for so much but at this very moment my strongest gratitude is for not living a horror at this moment. I pray for everyone’s safety in Mumbai India.
November 28th, 2008 at 2:43 am
I’m so thankful for all of the friends I have made online due to wordpress. I have been able to find a large number of folks with kids like mine with fragile x. Coming from a town of about 6000 people with not a sole with the disability that is a huge help!
November 28th, 2008 at 3:54 am

thankful for wordpress :]
November 28th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Aussies don’t celebrate Thanksgiving either. I’m homesick for ‘real’ cranberry sauce (not the stuff in the jar). But I’m thankful for living where there’s still wide-open, wild places to walk in, and a high degree of safety and tolerance.
November 28th, 2008 at 6:40 am
Happy Thanksgiving ….
November 28th, 2008 at 8:13 am
i’m not celebrate it but just wan to say to all the member here “happy thanksgiving”…..Love, happy and peace.
November 28th, 2008 at 8:18 am
Finally finding love at 43. A job where I can work with children. An ever-growing ability to communicate with my neighbors here. The list goes on…
November 28th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Heather,
Thanksgiving in not in my culture so I’m afraid I can’t say anything about it. Now I just wanted to say that every time I get on WordPress home page to access my blog and see a post form you with your large picture there it fills me with happiness. Heather, you’re really, really, really beautiful, I just wanted you to know it.
Keep up the good work here with WordPress, you’re making thousands (millions?) of happy bloggers, and today one especially.
Cheers,
Marco
PS: Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the US anyway.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I am thankful my husband was still alive to share this special day
with my family and me. And we were thankful when helping to feed the needy a turkey day
dinner that we were not in their situation. May God Bless us everyone!… and we send our
thoughts and prayers to those in India and all over the world affected by the tragedy there.
