Happy Thanksgiving

I like turkey and thanksgiving, always celebrate it here.

However the holiday we celebrate in the US has more to do with Lincoln and the North's victory over Lee and the Confederates than the Pilgrim myth. Celebration of the bloodiest battle in US history, ~50,000 casualties in a few days, all Americans. https://www.nps.gov/liho/learn/historyculture/lincoln-and-thanksgiving.htm

I will enjoy my turkey anyway, and probably say nothing of it to the grandkids.

That's the happy myth.

Closer to the truth:

Myth or no myth, that turkey looks great!
For me thanksgiving is also every day. Each day, I feel grateful and give thanks for my blessings.

Absolutely!

Most of our holidays are based in myth. I do approve of the idea of a Thanksgiving holiday.

Who's "we"?
I'm a New Englander; I've never heard of celebrating this during Thanksgiving.
