Good Thursday mornin' to ya. This is a link to George Washingtons proclamation of Thanksgiving.

Why was the day set apart? "it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly implore His protection and favor"
Manner of celebration? "to be observed by acknowledgeing with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God"
I see nothing at all about turkeys. I just hate hearing people refer to "turkey day".........it's Thanksgiving, and all you friends have a good one! You are counted among my blessings..........
