Thanksgiving Survey Results

So for those of you who have cooked, baked, cleaned, decorated, washed, dried, laughed and maybe even cried… here is what you’ve REALLY been waiting for… the Thanksgiving Survey Results!!

The date of the first Thanksgiving is not exactly known, though it is generally believed to have happened between September 21 and November 9, 1621.

The Plymouth Pilgrims invited the Wampanoag Indians to dine with them and celebrate a plentiful harvest following a very difficult winter in which nearly half of the white settlers had died. The event lasted for THREE days!

I probably took that long to cook the various offerings over an open fire. Can you imagine?

The love and time put into family Thanksgiving meals are a wonderful thing. So, without further adieu I’d like to present you with the results (and a few surprises) from our Thanksgiving survey!
