A Thanksgiving Message from IWI Realty
As the holiday season arrives and families across the country gather around their tables, we want to take a moment to reflect on the meaning of Thanksgiving, its origins, and why the day continues to hold such a meaningful place in the hearts of so many Americans.
The Origins of Thanksgiving
The roots of Thanksgiving trace back to 1621 when the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people shared a harvest feast in Plymouth. The gathering is often recognized as one of the earliest examples of cooperation and gratitude between settlers and Native Americans. Although the holiday has changed over time, the foundation has stayed centered on giving thanks, honoring the harvest, and appreciating the community around us.
Thanksgiving became a national holiday in 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday of November as a day for gratitude and unity during the challenges of the Civil War. His proclamation shaped the holiday we observe today.
Why We Celebrate Thanksgiving Today
Thanksgiving has grown into a reminder to slow down and appreciate the people, opportunities, and experiences that shape our lives. Families and friends gather, share a meal, and reconnect. Many take time to reflect on the year with gratitude for personal and professional growth.
At IWI Realty, we believe in building strong relationships and being a trusted partner for businesses across the Permian Basin. Helping clients move into a new property, secure land for future development, or expand operations is something we take pride in. Each step forward represents a new chapter for someone’s business and future. The Thanksgiving season encourages us to pause and recognize how meaningful it is to be part of those moments.
