+The ubiquitous turkey that represents this holiday reminds me of the childhood drawings of the five fingered turkeys so I whipped one up while I was on the tablet which was tougher than I imagine especially because I couldn’t trace my hand while touching the screen.

 At this point I’m almost completely removed from whatever the history is, so I like to look it up as a reminder. I think the cornucopia of a harvest is most appropriate even though in 1536, some puritans wanted to replace some of the religious holidays the Church of England in 1536 [^1] . English settlers gathered to celebrate it in 1619 and the Native Americans accompanied them fifteen years later up in Plymouth. Abraham Lincoln made it a national holiday and Roosevelt assigned a day. And thus begins the American holiday season.
