Thanksgiving, OtoH, is a Massachusetts-Puritan,
Mayflower-Pilgrims thing. I should boycott it
as I am, for last several years, concerned that
Virginia colony (1584) & New York (1612) were
here before Mass-Mayflower (1620).
In elementary school, I believe they told us that
the Mayflower was the 1st ship to bring colonists
from England to the New World. So even back then,
the schools had screwed our history lessons.
But Hallowe'en is pretty cool as long you have fun!
P.S. NM St. Augustine's (1565)!
