It’s November and you know what that means, that’s right December is right around the corner. Just kidding, it means it is almost time for Thanksgiving. Since the first Thanksgiving in 1621, people in the United States of America have been gathering in the fall for a feast of thanksgiving, thankful for a bountiful harvest, as it were in the pilgrim days. Today we gather around on the fourth Thursday of November and fill our stomachs with turkey or ham or whatever entrée you might have, and, of course, don’t forget the pumpkin pie. Friday...
