Another amazing fact about our 16th President that I didn’t know: On October 3, 1863 Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a National Holiday. It was to be celebrated each year on the final Thursday of November.
Wonder what he’d think about us NOT celebrating Thanksgiving on the final Thursday of November this year. And stores being open so people could get an early start on their Black Friday shopping.
Abe was thin, but I bet he could eat a lot of turkey! Not sure if he was a fan of parades or football. But I bet he would have approved of you seeing his movie this holiday week if you haven’t as yet.
