Some Turkey Day Facts

Since we are in the business of delivering pertinent information when you need it, here are some “must know” Thanksgiving facts to share:

  1. The original Thanksgiving was a three-day feast in 1621 between 50 Pilgrim Fathers and about 90 native Americans in celebration of a bountiful harvest.
  1. George Washington proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving Day, held on November 26, 1789.
  1. Thanksgiving was celebrated sporadically until 1863 when Abraham Lincoln declared it an annual holiday on the last Thursday in November.
  1. More food is eaten in the USA on Thanksgiving Day than on any other day of the year.
  1. Since 1947, it has been traditional for the US President to “pardon” a turkey before Thanksgiving to save it from the feast.
  1. “Postprandial somnolescence” is the scientific name for Thanksgiving food coma (falling asleep after a heavy meal).

Happy Feasting to all, and may you enjoy a blessed Thanksgiving! Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with Knopman Marks.
