The 10 Things You Need To Know About Thanksgiving

Everyone knows that some on the Christmas sales Black Friday. To be precise, which is about three weeks before the fourth Thursday of November and Christmas. But came up with a ride on capitalist ideas selling offered a poor year for all year round with no faith at a low price. The idea is to organize a crazy sales come from? What's going on guys looking for fun trampled over by the first shot at any expensive products? Below are a few things you might want to know about Thanksgiving.

1. Black Friday is not a part of Thanksgiving


This approach makes it on our list of the top right reasons. Friday "after Thanksgiving Day" is actually Christmas around the corner and that is a symbol of support as all department stores in the country. It was the 1930s led to a conflict in the Christmas shops and businesses because of advertising but for the shopping season was associated with Thanksgiving Day (just like us!). This made the FDK to change history, but he was not successful.

2. Thanksgiving has its history of evolution


President Thomas Jefferson called the idea of Thanksgiving Holiday as “ridiculous” and on the other hand Benjamin Franklin lobbied to make Turkey the national bird of the U.S. Why? We don’t know but we can only speculate that he craved and loved the taste. The first Thanksgiving was held in 1621 but it was only a century and a half later that all thirteen colonies celebrated the day together. That was in 1777, October. George Washington marked the day as a national holiday in 1789. This makes us wonder what Abraham Lincoln did!? He “recognized” the historic tradition (did Washington mark a holiday without recognizing?!).

3. It was also celebrated in Britain


The Pilgrims that arrived in the U.S to celebrate Thanksgiving actually fled Great Britain because if the rigorous religious practices. Remember those were the times when the Church held great power. Yet in 1942, nearly 3,500 soldiers from America were invited to the Westminster Abbey in London where they filled the pews and chanted their America, the Beautiful and The Star-Spangled Banner. It was during the Second World War and the occasion was seen as ironic since it was the very church that the Pilgrims had initially fled from. Yet it had happened only once in 900 years of the church then and is remembered hitherto.

4. The tradition is not “original” rather “aboriginal”


Thanksgiving was not a day should be a treat. Pilgrims settled at Plymouth that had to do to commemorate this day through prayer and fasting. It makes us believe that you might as well with religious roots. Why it did not turn out like that? Culture was in the development stage and Native Americans celebrated three days with traditional dancing, feasting and singing. Oh yes bonfires and lukewarm, stories and knitted marshmallows- night came from here. When Native Americans received US fast, with the winning party? tummies are!

5. The Turkey isn’t Turkey


Though there is layer upon layer of poultry in the Turkey, it is not the big bird only. There is a layer of Turkey stuffed with duck which in turn is stuffed with chicken. So it is basically Turduckens that we all enjoy on Thanksgiving. Interestingly, the original meal did not have Turkey as the main course. It was mostly fish, lobsters, eels and oyster though wild turkey did make it to the table sometimes. This later evolved into the dangerous high calorie tofu version involved deep frying “deep-fried Turkey”. That is the probably where the pioneer of KFC picked his idea from.
6. Nursery Rhyme “Mary had a Little Lamb” is connected to Thanksgiving

It wasn’t written on Thanksgiving by Sarah Josepha Hale rather there is another quite interesting connection between the two. After producing the very popular nursery rhyme, Miss Hale wrote letters to the authorities for 17 years. The whole campaign demanded national recognition of Thanksgiving by the government and sought a national holiday to celebrate the occasion. It wasn’t until almost two decades later that Abraham Lincoln recognized Thanksgiving as a national holiday by issuing a decree in 1863. The holiday now gives people all over America four holidays by combining the weekend with Friday. Happy Vacationing!

7. What happens on Thanksgiving?


In addition to those achieved with a from all over the country in order to eat together and celebrate together, Thanksgiving traditionally more. Turkey is the main meal. Of course it around as a main course. The meat is stuffed and rounded off with a traditional pumpkin pie. Americans express a craving for sweet potatoes, yams original meaning. The Thanksgiving parade in many places. The Macy's parade in New York being the most famous among them. This helium balloons, costumes and floats for three hours Sustainable features. Running is also a long tradition of watching football and I always made it a game between the NFL and college, start the game.

8. What exactly is Thanksgiving?


It is a celebration to thank the deity for what appears to be a precursor for Christmas, but Thanksgiving is mainly harvested last season. Is reached (or back in the 1600s, Americans say) and can also have religious roots. When he was a little confused at first, but most historians agree Dutch settlers- Pilgrims- 1621 marks the first harvest. Massachusetts was in the area. Until it gradually spread through the United States President George Washington do not celebrate Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1789. Many Americans made the right call. He was taken back to their native country, he had many possessions considered insulting them when they were received as a return of syphilis among others.

9. Franklin Roosevelt tried to change the date


During the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt to try to change history by suggesting that Thanksgiving has come a week earlier than usual. Perhaps it was an attempt to boost retail sales for Christmas, but that it was not so easy. Resorting to protests and calling people names. Atlantic City Mayor Announces the above two events "Franksgiving" & "thank you". American and squabbled in 1941 before the decision was reversed by the Congress and was announced as the 4th Thursday of November a national holiday bread for two years.

10. Thanksgiving gave birth to TV dinners


In 1953, the US population will be used by Turkey that amount had been overestimated by some severe. After more than 260 tonnes of "frozen turkey meat" was not Thanksgiving celebrations were over. Gary Thomas 5000 created a simple assembly line with aluminum tray and women workers. The idea of ​​eating the airplane and precise Turkey and dressing- peas, sugar beets and began filling the tray with corn-bread. The first TV was born dinner and Mr. Thomas led the US population (they can be sued to bring obesity triggered in society) has its side lazying with dinner plate later.
