Quotable
by John F. Kennedy, 35th U.S. president (1917-1963)
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
Back Then
Before becoming a favorite American dessert, fruit pies were a common breakfast food in the 19th century.
Call of the Wild
The gobble-gobble call of an adult turkey can be heard up to one mile away.
Turkeys and Tubes
Swanson started creating TV dinners in 1953 in part because they needed to find something to do with 260 tons of frozen turkeys left over from Thanksgiving.
Beyond the Table
Native Americans and Pilgrims used cranberries as a red dye.
Point of Origin
The term "Black Friday" originated in Philadelphia around 1960 to describe the heavy, disruptive traffic that would occur on the day after Thanksgiving.
