Here's Looking At You, Kid Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 Bless your families and hope you do have something to be thankful for in 2024. I look forward to the next season of House of the Dragon. More dragons and more Targaryens are always good. The next book is another much anticipated thing. The author might be rewriting the plot with all this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Lincoln made it a holiday because we were losing the war. We needed a holiday to keep the union in the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard of Banefort Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 2 hours ago, Here's Looking At You, Kid said: Is that so? I thought it started with the first settlers. It was inspired by that, but feasts of thanksgiving were already a practice throughout the world at the time. Lincoln designated the last Thursday in November as the official Thanksgiving Day holiday in 1863 (changed to the fourth Thursday under FDR). I believe this was also the first federally-recognized holiday in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
