The cornucopia is a symbol of Thanksgiving or the fall harvest and many of us use one to decorate our dining room tables as the centerpiece to our traditional feast. It refers to a horn-shaped basket or a gourd that has been hollowed out and filled with fruits and vegetables gathered from a good harvest - sometimes it may contain flowers for added beauty.
Cornucopia became an English word in 1508 when it first appeared in the dictionary. It originates from two Latin words: Cornu meaning "horn" and Copia meaning "plenty".
The most integral and memorable part of the Thanksgiving Day celebration is feasting with family and friends.
Wishing you a harvest of good food!
Happy Thanksgiving.
