It still sucked and is a disgrace. But they probably have more than 1 Thanksgiving. Then again I wouldn't be surprised if it actually only started in the mid 1800s and they attached a story to it....

According to my skim of the Wikipedia page, first Thanksgiving in the us was in 1619 or something. But was more of a religious thing about giving thanks than a feast

Yeah but was it a yearly tradition or they did it once then...
