George Washington was the first to propose a national holiday for Thanksgiving. Many others agreed, but, Thomas Jefferson was not one of them. Jefferson referred to the idea as “the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.” (I guess he wasn’t a fan of cranberries.) The holiday wouldn’t become a thing until Lincoln signed a proclamation making it the last Thursday of November for Thanksgiving in 1863.
Thanks to Lucy Hale (who hounded Congress until they instituted it), Thanksgiving is a beloved national holiday. As we look forward to meeting with our families, friends and neighbors over a scrumptious meal, lets be thankful for all we have in our lives.
