Happy Thanksgiving!!

The concept of Thanksgiving is as ancient as ancient can be. Harvest festivals dedicated to the god or gods currently in fashion as thanks for abundance and the survival it would provide.

But like so many things, Americans have made thanksgiving their very own with traditions and customs created and nurtured here in the good old USA.
