🦃🍂 Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂🦃

As we dig into our turkey and pumpkin pie, let’s remember the true roots of this holiday—starting with the first feast in 1621, where Pilgrims and Wampanoag people shared a meal. It wasn’t until President Lincoln made it official in 1863 (thanks to Sarah Josepha Hale’s hard work!) that Thanksgiving became the national tradition we know today.

This year, let’s take a moment to reflect on what we're grateful for. 💛 What’s on your list? 🙏
