Thanksgiving 1915 A Colonial Revival Painting of The First Thanksgiving by Jean Louis Gerome Ferris (American painter, 1863-1930).
Our rural ancestors, with little blest,Patient of labor when the end was rest,Indulged the day that housed their annual grain,With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.~Alexander Pope
Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence. ~Erma Bombeck
