You think you know everything about Thanksgiving, don't you? …How the Native Americans saved the Pilgrims from starving…
How the Pilgrims held a big feast to celebrate and say thank you: turkey, pumpkin pie, cranberries--the works.
Well, listen up. I have a news flash…
WE ALMOST LOST…THANKSGIVING!
Didn't know that, did you? It's true. Way, way back, when skirts were long and hats were tall, Thanksgiving was fading away. Sure, the folks up in New England celebrated it. They'd roast a turkey and invite the relatives when the harvest came in. But not in the South, not in the West, not even in the Middle Atlantic states. More and more, people ignored the holiday.
Thanksgiving was in trouble. It needed…
A SUPERHERO!
