So, what is Thanksgiving...
The definition below is one of the best that I have ever found...

Thanksgiving Day , legal holiday in the U.S., first celebrated in
early colonial times in New England. The actual origin, however, is
probably the harvest festivals that are traditional in many parts
of the world Festivals and Feasts. After the first harvest was
completed by the Plymouth colonists in 1621, Governor William
Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving and prayer, shared by all
the colonists and neighboring Native Americans. The Pilgrims of
Plymouth Rock held their Thanksgiving in 1621 as a three day "thank
you" celebration to the leaders of the Wampanoag Indian tribe and
their families for teaching them the survival skills they needed to
make it in the New World. It was their good fortune that the
tradition of the Wampanoags was to treat any visitor to their homes
with a share of whatever food the family had, even if supplies were
low. It was also an amazing stroke of luck that one of the
Wampanoag, Tisquantum or Squanto, had become close friends with a
British explorer, John Weymouth, and had learned the Pilgrim's
language in his travels to England with Weymouth.

After the first New England Thanksgiving the custom spread
throughout the colonies, but each region chose its own date. In
1789 George Washington, the first president of the United States,
proclaimed November 26 a day of Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day continued to be celebrated in the United States on
different days in different states until Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale,
editor of Godey's Lady's Book, decided to do something about it.
For more than 30 years she wrote letters to the governors and
presidents asking them to make Thanksgiving Day a national holiday.

Finally, in 1863, President Lincoln issued a White House
proclamation calling on the "whole American people" wherever they
lived to unite "with one heart and one voice" in observing a
special day of thanksgiving. Setting apart the last Thursday of
November for the purpose, the President urged prayers in the
churches and in the homes to "implore the interposition of the
almighty had to heal the wounds of the nations and to restore
it...to full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and union."
He also states that they express heartfelt thanks for the "blessing
of fruitful fields and healthful skies."

In 1939 President Franklin D. Roosevelt advanced Thanksgiving Day
one week. However, since some states used the new date and others
the old, it was changed again 2 years later. Thanksgiving Day is
now celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November.

The first formal celebration of Thanksgiving in North America was
held by an English explorer, Martin Frobisher, who attempted to
establish an English settlement on Baffin Island, after failing to
discover a northern passage to the Orient in 1576. Canada
established the second Monday in October as a national holiday, "a
day of general thanksgiving," in 1957.

In 1817 New York State adopted Thanksgiving Day as an annual
custom. By the middle of the 19th century many other states also
celebrated a Thanksgiving Day. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln
appointed a national day of thanksgiving. Since then each president
has issued a Thanksgiving Day proclamation, usually designating the
fourth Thursday of each November as the holiday.

Why Turkey

The turkey tradition was really pushed by Benjamin Franklin, who
wanted to make it the United States national symbol because it is a
quick runner, wary, with sharp eyesight, and exhibited a regal
stance, at least to Franklin. While the bald eagle nudged out the
wild turkey for our official national symbol, Norman Rockwell has
probably made the image of the family Thanksgiving turkey even more
famous, and certainly more mouth watering.

Tradition

The American traditions of Thanksgiving revolve around a huge and
lavish meal, usually with Turkey as the centerpiece. For those who
do not like Turkey, a Roast or Prime Rib is common. As tradition
has it in most families, a special prayer of thanks precedes the
meal. In many homes, family members will each mention something
they are very thankful for. 

Thanksgiving is a time for families to create traditions and
memories that last a lifetime. 

We are honored to pay tribute for all the things that we are
thankful for on the show this week.
