NBC had the vegetable from the White House call in. I mean his wife called in. You know Potato Joe is too
brain dead to even make a call.
FIRST THANKSGIVING & NOW !!
The pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving
At Plymouth in October 1621.
The bitter winter of 1620, was over
With a loss of many father, mother, daughter or son.
Life for survivors was much better now
As a good harvest improved what was rationed
Settlers enjoyed good health and prosperity
As homes were raised from the logs they fashioned.
They walked unafraid and safely in the woods
For they had made peace with the Indians.
After the signing a long-lasting treaty
Natives and Pilgrims shared the land as friends.
Sending four men to shoot waterfowl and wild turkeys
The Pilgrims decreed a holiday of good fortune
A chief was invited who brought 90 braves
And five deer to increase the portion.
It was an open-air roast and festival
Held along the north bank of Town Brook.
Where there were games of skill, chance and dance
While everyone gorged on the feast they cooked.
From then on Thanksgiving spread through the colonies
Though each region chose its own date.
Till in 1789 President Washington proclaimed
November 26 a day to give thanks and celebrate.
The theme of Thanksgiving has always been the same.
Though its date has changed many times.
A day for giving and remembering the less fortunate
Expressing thankfulness with our prayers, hearts and minds.

Why can't I watch the parade lie on here. Everything is saying you can yet I don't find it.
Thanks NBC for making me feel like I live in a foreign country for Thanksgiving.

Big events happening in the next week including The World Cup in Qatar, The Thanksgiving NFL Game between The Dallas Cowboys, and The New York Giants, The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and The ACC Championship game between Clemson, and North Carolina in Charlotte.
Shout out to George Floyd on 912 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals! Where’s Jackie?
