A Little Thanksgiving History

A little history about Thanksgiving:

• Len and Pat are descendants of the 15th century settlers of Plymouth and Cape Cod
• The celebration of Thanksgiving was instituted in 1789.
• In 1789, Elias Boudinot, Massachusetts member of the House of Representatives, moved that a day of Thanksgiving be held to thank God for giving the American people the opportunity to create a Constitution to preserve their hard won freedoms. A Congressional Joint Committee approved the motion and informed President George Washington. On October 3, 1789, the President proclaimed that the people of the United States observe " a day of public thanksgiving and prayer", on Thursday, the 4th week in November.
• The holiday was instituted for all of us to enjoy and appreciate what we have and to appreciate our families and friends, particularly significant in these troubled financial times. Let's share a glass half full not half empty and reflect on the Pilgrims who arrived on  these shores in deep financial debt. Some were indentured and were obligated to work to pay off their debts before starting a new life in a new land.
