Thanksgiving is in 1 week! Thanksgiving (happening Nov. 28th this year,) is one of those few holidays we look forward to every year! Well unless you’re the one cooking for the family and having to clean up afterwards. It has been celebrated in the United States since 1619, and even though the date has changed some, the idea of hosting a feast to give thanks to the years harvest. Interesting enough, this holiday is celebrated across the country. In addition to others! For example, including Canada, Liberia and even Brazil. 

An interesting fact is that the date of observance for Thanksgiving use to vary state to state. It wasn’t until 1863 when Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the modern Thanksgiving take place on the final Thursday in November. He was convinced to make is a National holiday by Josepha Hale, who wrote “Mary has a little Lamb”. 

It is also quite interesting, that on Thanksgiving, it is estimated that approximately 46 million turkeys and about 500,000 pumpkin pies are eaten each year.
