Have you done your part on learning more about this holiday? Has it made you think differently? I found it very interesting to learn about how we celebrate Thanksgiving today compared to past years... did you know Turkey (possibly) and other traditional items were not part of the first feast? Fowl were labeled "turkey" and potatoes were not established yet as edible... the only traditional staple that was served initially was pumpkin.. but not in pie form! Interesting how through the years the now traditional Thanksgiving staples are far different then the original. Do you remember 2009 Thanksgiving advertisement? Lobster for Thanksgiving to help during the recession and how "odd" that was? Yet it was an original item in the first meal!! Their meal lasted 3 days.. how long does yours? Does the meal end, clean up begins and black friday fever hits?
I am interested in what traditions you and others celebrate during this holiday? Do you say grace? Do you eat off certain dishes, or plastic plates? Do you dress up and eat with cloth napkins? Celebrate on the designated day or another?
