    For those long road trips across Kansas to MITM we listen to that at least once in each direction:Thumbsup:

    Just got our bird on the grill, cooking indirect this year, smoking takes too long.

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone:beer:biggrin5:

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone :cornut:

    A history on Thanksgiving,

    Looks like a lady started it,


    Copy of a letter sent by Sarah Josepha Hale, magazine editor, to President Abraham Lincoln, credited with inspiring him to declare a national day of Thanksgiving.




    Sarah J. Hale to Abraham Lincoln, Monday, September 28, 1863 (Thanksgiving)

    From Sarah J. Hale [1] to Abraham Lincoln, September 28, 1863

    Philadelphia, Sept. 28th 1863.


    Sir:

    Permit me, as Editress of the "Lady's Book", to request a few minutes of your precious time, while laying before you a subject of deep interest to myself and -- as I trust -- even to the President of our Republic, of some importance. This subject is to have the day of our annual Thanksgiving made a National and fixed Union Festival.

    .............



    Now the purpose of this letter is to entreat President Lincoln to put forth his Proclamation, appointing the last Thursday in November (which falls this year on the 26th) as the National Thanksgiving for all those classes of people who are under the National Government particularly, and commending this Union Thanksgiving to each State Executive: thus, by the noble example and action of the President of the United States, the permanency and unity of our Great American Festival of Thanksgiving would be forever secured.

    An immediate proclamation would be necessary, so as to reach all the States in season for State appointments, also to anticipate the early appointments by Governors.[3]

    Excuse the liberty I have taken

    With profound respect

    Yrs truly

    Sarah Josepha Hale,
