Thanks Diane Steveson about your information. I hope you and your family will have a happy and warm Thanksgiving day.

This week we will celebrate a national holiday, Thanksgiving. Many people think this holiday was started by the first european settlers in North America, but the first official Thanksgiving actually happened in 1863. President Lincoln wrote a proclamation making the last Thursday in November a national day of thanksgiving and prayer. People hoped this holiday would help the nation heal after the civil war. So tomorrow, I will buy my turkey, and start cooking for our celebration. I plan to make at least two pies (apple and pumpkin), cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, green bean casserole, stuffing, and dinner rolls.
