Happy Thanksgiving!

DID YOU KNOW?   
Today is Thanksgiving Day! There were various Thanksgiving Day celebrations throughout the early years of colonial USA and Canada. It was George Washington who first declared that all the members of the new Union should celebrate Thanksgiving on the same day, Thursday, November 26, 1789. But, not surprisingly, it was Abraham Lincoln who first declared Thanksgiving as a US national holiday in 1863. America's neighbors, the Canadians, celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October. 

You're very lucky so it's time to give thanks for a lot of things. If you don't have any ideas, ask the turkey...
