HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

    I hope that you all have a great time with friends and family this Thursday.  I myself am going to spend the week with my two best friends.  Which I am very excited about. I have so much to be thankful for and to praise God over. What are you doing for thanksgiving.  How are you celebrating thanksgiving this year?
     I was thinking about how much I know about the holiday a couple minutes ago and realized that I don’t know to much.  I mean I know about the pilgrims and the first thanksgiving but there is a lot more to it so I looked us some facts on google.   And here are a couple things that I found on the web.

                I hope that you learn something.

At one time, the turkey and the bald eagle were each considered as the national symbol of America.  Benjamin Franklin was one of those who argued passionately on behalf of the turkey. Franklin felt the turkey, although “vain and silly”, was a better choice than the bald eagle, whom he felt was “a coward”.

Thanksgiving was held twice in 1815

Turkeys can drown if they look up when it is raining.

The average American will eat 18 pounds of turkey in a year.
