DID YOU KNOW...

 Basically Everything About Thanksgiving Is a Lie


You know that happy meal between Native Americans and the Pilgrims where everyone bonded? Well, the real story of Thanksgiving is awful, and actually consisted of plagues and violence and murder. Also, there's no evidence turkey was actually served—or that native people were invited to the meal.

  2. Sigh. The fictional version is lovely. I am sad to learn it isn't true.

  3. So many of our traditions, even those that are religious are based on lies.

  7. Yup. I did know about this. Whenever we had Thanksgiving celebrations at our school, I had my kids wear pilgrim hats and not dress as Native Americans for which it was NOT a Thanksgiving at all.
