In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I watched History Channel's documentary, "The Real Story of Thanksgiving." Though the story of the first Thanksgiving at Plymoth rock is not completely accurate; the idea of Thanksgiving as a day of gratitude is. Sarah Josepha Hale lobbied for the holliday as her lifes work. She believed that the fouth Thursday of the November month should be a national holiday. A day to show gratitude was encouraged by Abraham Lincoln. And many years later was made a official holiday by the White house. So, there is a bit of Thanksgiving history.
