Happy Thanksgiving!
May everyone in the neighborhood have a Safe & Happy Thanksgiving.
Here's something on the history of Thanksgiving:
“It has seemed to me fit and proper that [the gracious gifts of God] should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States ... to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens."
-Abraham Lincoln, Proclamation Establishing Thanksgiving Day, October 3, 1863
