Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is possibly the best family holiday in this country. A great opportunity for families to get together. But I think it would be better if children were not told the fairytale in school that the "Pilgrims" and "Indians" were friends, etc. Maybe when children get to high school they could be taught the real history about Colonel North America and it's indigenous population.
The story in brief (it's not funny despite the cartoon):
