just go already

2006
Spanish settlers celebrated “Thanksgiving” 
on September 8, 1565, in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida.

Thanksgiving services were also routine in what was to become the Commonwealth of Virginia as early as 1607.

But the good cheer of our turkey day tradition traces its roots to a 1621 celebration in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

We celebrate in the Bronx, too, y’know.

and we got a cheer of our own.

Some cause good cheer wherever they go; 
others, whenever they go.
