THANKSGIVING!!!!!;)

IS IT REAL OR SHOULD WE START CALLING THIS BELOVED HOILDAY FAUXGIVING? Tomorrow is Thanksgiving a holiday that many Americans celebrate. The week of Thanksgiving My school has 2.5 days off. On Thanksgiving every year I go to my Aunt's house in New York. We have a huge feast including cranberries, stuffing, vegetables, pumpkin pie and best of all TURKEY! Did you know that they most likely didn't eat potatoes at the first Thanksgiving? Historians believe that the Indians and the Pilgrims thought potatoes were poisonous. Also there were no pies. The Pilgrims used most of the sugar on the Mayflower and there were no ovens to bake them in. There were no dairy protects because there were no cows in the nearby area. They most likely didn't eat turkey either. The had lobster, deer, mussels, eel and even eagles. (When is the last time you had a nice juicy piece of eagle?) People didn't pass stuff they ate what was closest to them. The food was placed by the most important people. (so all the food will be surrounding me) So if you wern't important you didn't eat. The first Thanksgiving was most likely in October. Thanksgiving used to be the third to last week in November until FDR changed it to the second so people would have more time to by holiday gifts. Then congress changed it to the fourth week.** http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2006/11/22/thanksgiving/
