You might enjoy my post on the topic as it looks Norman Rockwell's influence on how we view the celebration. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you brought out the information about the first Thanksgiving in the US, which was celebrated by 600+ Huguenots on September 5th 1565 when they and Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles arrived in Florida. It seems the primary difference is he ordered a religious "Mass of Thanksgiving" to be said, whereas in Plymouth they actually had a feast. For anyone interested, there is an well-written and accessible historical text by Francis Parkman @ <A> http://tinyurl.com/5l348u </A> that covers this piece of American history.S. A.
