Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of the USA's most sacred holidays, right up there with the 4th of July. It conveniently occurs on the "fourth Thursday in November" each year. Not only does this day mark the official beginning of the Holiday Shopping Season, it is also one of the key elements in the country's national mythology. Oppressed pioneers, "The Pilgrims" arrive on the savage shores of Plymouth, Massachusetts, desiring only religious freedom. After a tough year of overcoming countless adversities, they rejoice with a festival of giving thanks to G*d, and eating a lovely dinner with family and friends, and of course some kindly Indians.

The reality is a little different.
