I'm sure you know the story about Thanksgiving. Right? Well, either why I'm going to tell you the story.
In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is known today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of Thanksgiving were celebrated by individual states and colonies.
It has been celebrated as a federal holiday every year since 1864, when, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and praise to our magnificent Father who art in the Heavens," to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November.
Now that I'm done with that: ORIGAMI TURKEYS! I LOOVE IT! IT'S SOOO CUUUUUTEEE!
