It was Abraham Lincoln who proclaimed Thanksgiving as a national holiday in 1863. It was in the midst of a civil war between Americans. That bit of history affects me this year. Like a small prick.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks. Lincoln actually called for unofficial Thanksgivings as early as 1861, but the proclamation and date came later. Same to you. Have a great day.

Thanks. It’s not one of mine, but sort of similar to some of the representational stuff I like to do.
