As we each take a moment to enjoy life and reflect on the goodness in our lives today, everyone here at I-Connect007 wishes you and yours a Thanksgiving full of family, friends, and lots of delicious carb-laden food. Today, we are also thankful our readers, our columnists and contributors, and our team members.
Here are a few fun facts about this very American holiday:
- The first Thanksgiving was a celebration with the Wampanoag tribe, to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. It lasted three days, and turkey was not on the menu.
- President Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving a national holiday, but the annual presidential pardon of the Thanksgiving turkey began under President George H. W. Bush.
- The song “Jingle Bells” was actually intended to be a Thanksgiving song.
- Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving, but in October.
Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s Only Common Sense: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
12/07/2020 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseAs we do every year on the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving, my family gathers to watch the old classic “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles,” starring Steve Martin and John Candy. Just like we do every year, we all end up shouting ideas and suggestions at the characters, encouraging better choices. This movie came out in the late ‘80s, and it is stunning to realize today how many things have changed since then. Most notably, there have been changes in terms of technology, services, and travel. Just think if they’d had cellphones. Their lives would have been so much easier.
