History Of Thanksgiving
Cool, here’s a more in-depth look at the history of Thanksgiving — how it evolved, some of the lesser-known facts, and how it became what we celebrate today.
Thanksgiving didn’t start as a clean, one-time “Pilgrims and Native Americans sit down for turkey” story. Sure, there was that 1621 harvest feast between the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag people — but the reality of that gathering was more complex. The colonists probably hunted duck or geese, and the Wampanoag likely brought venison. That 1621 event was more of a multi-day harvest festival than a fixed holiday.
Over the following centuries, different colonies and states held days of “thanksgiving”—usually as religious days of prayer, often when something major happened (like a drought ending or a war victory). These weren’t uniform: different places celebrated on different days.
The idea of a national, annual Thanksgiving really took off thanks to **Sarah Josepha Hale**, an editor and writer. For decades she pushed for a unified national holiday — writing letters, editorials, and generally campaigning. Her persistence paid off when **Abraham Lincoln**, in the middle of the Civil War, proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863 (on the last Thursday of November) to help bring the country together.
After Lincoln, presidents continued to issue Thanksgiving proclamations almost every year, but the exact date bounced around a little. Then, in the 20th century, **Franklin D. Roosevelt** caused a stir: in 1939, he moved Thanksgiving earlier — to give Americans more time to shop before Christmas. Many people weren’t thrilled (“Franksgiving,” anyone?), and states were split on which date to follow. Eventually, in 1941, Congress passed a law officially fixing Thanksgiving on the **fourth Thursday in November**.
As Thanksgiving evolved, so did its traditions. Over time it became less about strictly religious observance and more about family, food, and gratitude. Things like parades and football games became tied to the holiday. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, for example, started in the 1920s and became a huge national tradition.
Finally, there are modern traditions too: things like volunteering, food drives, and even the presidential “turkey pardon” — where a live turkey is spared from being eaten.

Buyer Advice – Why You Need A Real Estate Agent
I know that you have a lot of decisions coming up now that you’re in the hunt for a new house. This post is just aimed to arm you with some super helpful information to help you make the right decision, no matter what direction you want to go. An agent’s prime function is to help guide you through all of your decisions and processes. We help with not just finding the right home for you but also: – Setting appropriate budgets – Finding hidden details on homes (both good and bad) – Helping out with locating hidden costs (taxes, utilities, etc.) – Negotiations – Closing – Paperwork – Help you find the best mortgage lenders, movers, home inspectors and more And, of course, all the emotional support needed when making such a big purchase. If you want to go solo that’s great, and I wish you the best! But, if you think you do want to hire an agent, make sure to interview them first. Be sure to ask questions about their career like “How long have you been an agent?” “How many homes have you sold in the last year?” and “What kind of homes do you specialize in?” That’s it! I really do hope this information serves you well in finding the right agent, and if you’d like to talk further about it then feel free to let me know. I am happy to help you get started and answer any questions you may have about myself!
