Today, is Thanksgiving!  Gobble - Gobble

Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. dates back to 1621, when Pilgrims and Wampanoag Native Americans shared an autumn feast. President Lincoln officially declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863 amid the Civil War. The traditional feast's menu likely differed from today's, and Thanksgiving became associated with turkey, parades, and football. Despite debates over its origins, Thanksgiving endures as a time for gratitude and feasting, rooted in ancient harvest celebrations and diverse cultural influences.
