How's Your Thanksgiving Knowledge

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and most of you will be settling down to an afternoon of Turkey and maybe watching a parade or football game. So, to help you out on keeping the conversation light and airy during the Thanksgiving dinner, I found information for you on History.com from which you can pepper in some facts and bust some myths. For instance, everyone thinks of the pilgrims in Plimoth Plantation for having the first thanksgiving, but truly it was more of a secular harvest festival instead. The pilgrims would only think of a thanksgiving as a religious event and, therefore, wouldn't have had an event with dancing and signing on a religious day. They also only did this once and it wasn't repeated in following years as commonly believed. So, when the conversation goes to a lull, flip open your wireless connected laptop, and test your family with your new found knowledge.
