Yeah, supposedly back in the day when the "pilgrim" landed on Plymouth, they were in for a harsh winter. But the local Indians helped them survive it or something. To give thanks, they all shared this big ass meal.. I think.
I'm no history expert. lol.
So now like, on Nov. the something, we cook a shit load of food and have the turkey as a main course and just chow down. Plus we get out of school.
