Happy Thanksgiving 2022

Happy Thanksgiving from your friends at Foulkeways. May your home be filled with laughter and happiness.

Here are some fun facts to share around the dinner table this Thanksgiving:

  • The first Thanksgiving was celebrated over a three-day harvest festival in 1621 and included 50 Pilgrims and 90 Wampanoag Indians.
  • The Thanksgiving menu included not only turkey but venison, duck, goose, oysters, lobster, eel, and fish were also likely served along with pumpkins and cranberries.
  • Thanksgiving was proclaimed a national holiday on October 3, 1863, by Abraham Lincoln. Sarah Josepha Hale, author of “Mary Had A Little Lamb,” convinced Lincoln to make Thanksgiving a national holiday after writing letters to him for 17 years.
  • Four towns in the United States are named “turkey” and can be found in Arizona, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Texas.
  • The playing of football on Thanksgiving day began in 1876 with a game played between Yale and Princeton. NFL games started their tradition in 1920.
  • The total average number of calories to be consumed per person on Thanksgiving is 4,500 calories.
