Thanksgiving, 2013: A Brief History
Thanksgiving is upon us: a time to get together with relatives, eat some great food, watch a little football and/or parades, and stop to appreciate the good things we have in life. There’s a fascinating history to the holiday that goes beyond the traditional Pilgrims-and-Indians party we read about in school. The first Thanksgiving was indeed celebrated in 1621 in the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts.
