| On Thursday, November 26, 1789, President George Washington issued a proclamation for “a day of public thanksgiving and prayer.” Beginning in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln encouraged Americans to recognize the last Thursday of November as “a day of Thanksgiving.” A few years later in 1870, Congress followed suit by passing legislation making Thanksgiving (along with Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, and Independence Day) a national holiday.

Roosevelt followed Lincoln’s lead by declaring the last Thursday of November | ![]() |
a national day of thanks. So as the picture and quote suggests, let’s spend Thanksgiving grateful that we have a cup and everything else that is so wonderful in our world.
