Changing Thanksgiving History
Published by The Newsletter Pro • www.Newsletterpro.com
Thanksgiving History Is Full of Change EMBRACING IT IS WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL We really enjoy this time of year. You
is going to look a little different. Such is the way things go; time will always bring about change, and it’s not always the easiest change to swallow. But there’s no denying that throughout our nation’s history, there’s been great and fascinating change too. Just take a look at some of these interesting Thanksgiving historical facts as proof. • The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 over a three-day festival and included 50 Pilgrims and 90 Wampanoag, but only had five women present. Turkey wasn’t on the menu either — venison, duck, goose, oysters, lobster, eel, and fish were the main dishes.
• Harry Truman is credited with being the first president to pardon a turkey, but he was actually just the first president to receive a ceremonial turkey from the National Turkey Federation — and he ate it. John F. Kennedy was the first president to let a turkey go. Richard Nixon donated his turkey to a petting zoo, and George H. W. Bush formalized the turkey pardoning tradition in 1989.
can’t beat fall weather, and you can’t beat Thanksgiving celebrations either. We host an in-office potluck every November and celebrate the diversity of our team by encouraging everyone to bring dishes that represent their own unique heritage, culture, or upbringing, and we enjoy them together. We often invite clients and professional partners to join us, but of course, this year
• The tradition of football on
Thanksgiving began in 1876 with a game between Yale and Princeton. The first NFL games weren’t played on Thanksgiving until 1920. No matter what changes your own traditions and celebrations may face this year, we encourage you and your loved ones to embrace them and make the most of them. From all of us at Malloy Law Offices, LLC, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
• Abraham Lincoln first proclaimed
Thanksgiving a national holiday on Oct. 3, 1863 — that’s 240 years after it was first celebrated! Sarah Josepha Hale, the woman who wrote “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” finally convinced Lincoln to make it a holiday after writing him letters for 17 years.
