Americans Celebrate Thanksgiving Holiday with Family, Friends
VOA - November 24, 2011
U.S. citizens Thursday are celebrating their annual Thanksgiving holiday, a centuries-old harvest time tradition.
The week of the Thanksgiving holiday is one of the busiest travel weeks of the year, as Americans take to the air, railways and roads to visit family and friends and share a celebratory dinner.
The Thanksgiving Day meal usually includes turkey or ham, vegetables, and pies made of fall-harvest fillings such as apple or pumpkin. The National Turkey Federation estimates that, overall, Americans consumed more than 46 million turkeys at Thanksgiving last year.
After the feast, some people engage in recreational activities such as watching or playing sports - although, after such a heavy meal, a Thanksgiving Day nap is also a well-established custom.
Some Americans spend at least part of the day doing charity work, such as helping serve a Thanksgiving meal at a homeless shelter.
President Barack Obama released a holiday message Thursday, urging Americans facing difficult economic times to believe in the nation's ability to meet its challenges.
In a recorded message, he said the nation's problems did not develop overnight and will not be solved overnight. He encouraged U.S. citizens to remember service members overseas, and he thanked those people taking time out to do volunteer work on the holiday.
On Wednesday, Obama gave his annual "pardon" to the national Thanksgiving turkey and its alternate, an act that symbolically - and humorously - "saves" the birds from becoming part of a traditional Thanksgiving Day feast.
At the pardoning ceremony, Obama said people should be thankful for what they have and remember those who have less. He also thanked members of the U.S. military for their service. His two daughters, Sasha and Malia, were with him at the event.
The turkeys, named "Liberty" and "Peace," will live near Washington, D.C. at the estate of the first U.S. president, George Washington, where they will be part of a Christmas program until January.
Later Wednesday, Obama and his family took two other turkeys to a Washington area food bank that helps feed those in need. While there, the Obamas helped distribute food bags.
In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation calling for the last Thursday of November to be observed as a day of thanksgiving. The modern Thanksgiving holiday traces its roots to 1621, when English settlers in the Massachusetts Colony held a feast with a Native American tribe that taught the colonists how to grow food and hunt for game in their new surroundings.
Thanksgiving turkeys have been presented to presidents intermittently since the Lincoln administration. President George H. W. Bush issued the first turkey pardon 20 years ago.

First Thanksgiving Story and Facts
November 22, 2011
Thanksgiving Story is More Fiction than Fact
Conditions were crude for both Pilgrims and Indians
 |
'The First Thanksgiving at Plymouth' (Jennie A. Brownscombe, 1914) shows well-dressed, prayerful Pilgrims and Indians, a depiction experts say is far from accurate. |
On Thursday, Nov. 24, Americans mark our annual Thanksgiving holiday. It often revolves around a lavish dinner for family and friends that begins with a prayer of thanks for our blessings. The Thanksgiving tradition is modeled after harvest-home feasts - especially what’s been called the “First Thanksgiving” in colonial Massachusetts.
It’s the pleasant story of a cold, late-fall day in 1621, when about 50 pious English settlers called “Pilgrims,” who had barely survived their first year in the New World, shared a feast with their neighbors, the friendly Wampanoag Indians.
But according to curators at Plimoth Plantation - a living-history museum in the same settlement where the Pilgrims and Indians marked that harvest almost 400 years ago - the Thanksgiving story is more fable than fact.
Thanksgiving prayers
We associate solemn prayers of thanks to God with the holiday, and many American families that don’t usually say grace before meals pause to give thanks before eating on Thanksgiving.
But there wouldn’t have been many prayers at that crude festival 390 years ago. The pious Pilgrims would not have included people they considered pagan nonbelievers in solemn prayers, and the Indians likely would not have joined in praying to one all-powerful God.
If they did eat turkeys at the first Thanksgiving, they were probably not as plump as today's holiday birds.
Turkey time
Plump, domesticated turkeys are the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving table today.
But while the skimpy records from 1621 mention fowl, these were likely geese and ducks in the oceanfront Plymouth community. If they were turkeys, they’d have been the scrawnier wild variety.
Although pumpkin pie is now a Thanksgiving tradition, it is unlikely the pilgrims ate it.
Pumpkin pie
Our holiday tables are virtual groaning boards, crowded with a variety of dishes. And most illustrations of the First Thanksgiving also show tables piled high with breads and pumpkin pies.
It’s an unlikely scenario.
The Pilgrims had neither the sugar nor the wheat flour and ovens needed to make such baked goods.

The roughly 372,000 German POWs held in U.S Army-operated camps across the United States were sent out to harvest or process crops, build roads and waterways, fell trees, roof barns, erect silos, and much more. Many of those who worked with POWs spoke to them in their native tongue; some even had relatives or former neighbors among them. In the process, they formed significant, often decades-long friendships with “the enemy” and underwent considerable changes as individuals and as a group. The BUS-eum 3 will be in Cambridge on Wednesday, November 10 at the Central Library in Cambridge from 10 a.m. to noon. To learn more about this exhibit, see www.TRACES.org.

Using narrative panels and films, TRACES’ mobile museum—a retrofitted school bus called the BUS-eum 3—is touring the Eastern Seaboard with these stories. The roughly 372,000 German POWs held in U.S Army-operated camps across the United States were sent out to harvest or process crops, build roads and waterways, fell trees, roof barns, erect silos, and much more. Many of those who worked with POWs spoke to them in their native tongue; some even had relatives or former neighbors among them. In the process, they formed significant, often decades-long friendships with “the enemy” and underwent considerable changes as individuals and as a group. The BUS-eum 3 will be in Cambridge on Wednesday, November 10 at the Central Library in Cambridge from 10 a.m. to noon. To learn more about this exhibit, see www.TRACES.org.

Thanksgiving In Oxford, Maryland
We wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all of Oxford, Maryland's residents, visitors, and fans. Oxford, MD was founded in 1683, just 62 years after the first Thanksgiving.
"The first American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621, to commemorate the harvest reaped by the Plymouth Colony after a harsh winter. In that year Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving. The colonists celebrated it as a traditional English harvest feast, to which they invited the local Wampanoag Indians. Days of thanksgiving were celebrated throughout the colonies after fall harvests. All thirteen colonies did not, however, celebrate Thanksgiving at the same time until October 1777. George Washington was the first president to declare the holiday, in 1789." Quoted from infoplease
