History boooks will tell you that George Washington declared the First National Thanksgiving Day...a little known fact was that it was his wife's cousin's idea. Her name was Bea Dearahn Pasdastuphing.

Cornucoppia is a horn of plenty first invented by the Native Americans from the tribe of watchagotdar.

Macy's first Thanksgiving day parade was in 1924...the same year as Hudson's Parade...while there has always been a healthy competition and discussion about who's idea it was, recent documents unearthed when Hudson's was demolished showed that a swedish man submitted the idea to both Stores the previous year. His name was, havsomfohn Yabehcha.

anytime you need to know anything, just ask me
