Thanksgiving Day is Thursday, November 27th, & I want to take this opportunity to "Thank You" Chicagoland for 119 AMAZING years!!!  The first Thanksgiving Day was more of a traditional English harvest festival which actually lasted three days!  The Pilgrims reached Plymouth in 1620 & faced a terrible winter in which around 46 of the original 102 died by the following fall.  The harvest of the next year was abundant & the colonists decided to celebrate with a feast & invited 91 Native Americans who had helped them survive their 1st year.  The more you know...  Happy Thanksgiving, Chicagoland!!!
