There's a bit of a dispute as to where the first Thanksgiving actually took place. The pilgrims and the Plymouth colony always get the credit, but their thanksgiving was held in 1621 in Massachusetts. My own home state hosted an earlier Thanksgiving in 1619 at Berkley Plantation near Williamsburg. The Thanksgiving event was written into the charter. This fact doesn't diminish the importance or fascination with the Thanksgiving in Plymouth, but it illustrates the attitude of gratitude our forefathers had. May we imitate them in that.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
