Didja know that the first use in English of thanksgiving as a single word was in a 1539 translation of the Bible? The translated Bible read, for all the creatures of God are good and nothing to be refused, yf it be receaved with thankesgevynge. And didja know that the nation observed the first Thanksgiving Day set aside by national proclamation on November 28, 1863? Overheard in a Publix Supermarket in Florida from an upset lady picking through frozen turkeys at the last minute when she could not find one large enough to suit her: Do these turkeys get any bigger? No, the stock boy of high-school age answered, theyre dead.
