Have you ever wondered why Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday? Or why we always eat turkey? Or even if the pilgrims ate turkey in their meal? Well here is everything you need to know about thanksgiving! Let's start at the beginning. Why IS Thanksgiving on a Thrusday? Abraham Licoln himself chose for Thanksgiving to be on a Thursday. Meaning, there is no real significance to the matter. But this day is perfect because it calls for an extended weekend! Let's see, what's next on the list? Right! Turkey! It turns out, the Indians and Pilgrims didn't eat turkey in there Thanksgiving meal. They ate, goose, lobster, cod, and deer. Some say we eat turkey because it is much cheaper than goose for instance. Others say it is a tradition. I know my family has some traditions, but eating turkey is defintly one of them! Have you ever wondered what all the food the Pilgrims ate on that day tasted like? Imagine it. Sugar was very, VERY scarce. With none in your cranberry mix, or in something else that is very bland, would you be able to eat it? Would you be able to eat it with bugs crawling all over it? We are lucky to be living in a time with better conditions. Today we celebrate Thanksgiving in honor of the PIlgrims and their great journey. I hope I answered some of your questions! :)
