My blogger friends from other countries have asked what exactly America is celebrating each year on the fourth Thursday in   November?  It is not just overeating , football , and Black Friday shopping which has made its way into Thursday  Thanksgiving Day at some stores eager to start the Christmas buying season.

It was started in the early years of our history in 1600s  in what is  now  known as Massachusetts. Today, enjoy your family dinner, watch some football, maybe even shop or plan your shopping for tomorrow. But also  remember our history, the Pilgrims, and  the kind and generous Indians,  add these  many things to others  of which you can  give thanks.

Now you know “The Rest of the Story” of Thanksgiving!
