There's so much stuff coming at you about Thanksgiving .... you're almost tired of the holiday before it gets here... Thank goodness not all of it is about food that you eat, some is food for thought.
Today I received this item from the Pennsylvania State Data Center ... it has some interesting information.
For example:
The Continental Congress issued the first national proclamation of Thanksgiving in 1777 following the American victory at Saratoga while meeting in the town of York, Pennsylvania.
