Pilgrim Hall Museum: PRIMARY SOURCES FOR "THE FIRST THANKSGIVING" There are 2 (and only 2) primary sources for the events of autumn 1621 in Plymouth : Edward Winslow writing in Mourt's Relation and William Bradford writing in Of Plymouth Plantation.

though some might think it's cool or even awesome." |

Did You Know? Americans did not invent Thanksgiving. It began in Canada. Frobisher's celebration in 1578 was 43 years before the pilgrims gave thanks in 1621 for the bounty that ended a year of hardships and death. Abraham Lincoln established the date for the US as the last Thursday in November. In 1941, US Congress set the National Holiday as the fourth Thursday in November.

Wine-Lovers-page,com: As discussed in our Food and Wine turkey makes a challenging wine match, not only because it has both light and dark meat, but because its meat has an oily quality that's not always friendly to dry wines. I call my solution "the cranberry sauce principle." Cranberry sauce is a traditional condiment with turkey because it's both fruity and tart; so choose a wine with similar characteristics -- Beaujolais or Zinfandel if you want a red, or Riesling, Gewurztraminer or Chenin Blanc if you're inclined to a white.
"This is a neat site, very classy and helpful, even for beginners.
Drinking wine takes years of practice to get it right." |

History and Customs of Halloween. Halloween is an annual celebration, but just what is it actually a celebration of? And how did this peculiar custom originate? Is it, as some claim, a kind of demon worship? Or is it just a harmless vestige of some ancient pagan ritual?

VJ Days of Awe Site: Yom Kippur is also a Holiday (Yom Tov). According to tradition, Yom Kippur is the day on which Moses descended from Mt. Sinai with the second Tablets of Stone, forty days after the collective sin of the Golden Calf. This time he was greeted with joy. In Temple times the people celebrated the successful emergence of the High Priest from the holy sanctuary after he had atoned for the entire community. There was singing and dancing. With the emerging innocence, as Yom Kippur day progressed, it was also customary for potential grooms to choose their future brides.
