Tomorrow brings upon us a day of feasting with family and friends. The lingering smells of dinner rolls, mash potatoes and gravy, stuffing, and of coarse turkey will fill the house as watering mouths get ready to feast upon this delicious tradition. Then comes the ever so famous pumpkin pie to finish off this wonderful day of thanks.
As we begin our traditions of Thanksgiving, let us remember the roots of where this all started. Thanksgiving Day all started in 1621 when the Wampanoag Indians gratefully shared an autumn feast with the Plymouth colonists. This day of thanks became a tradition that was carried on throughout the colonies until it was officially acknowledged as a national Thanksgiving celebration in 1863.
