Thanksgiving
Since so many Kidscreen readers are not from the United States, I thought I would take a moment to explain the significance of this holiday that we call, "Thanksgiving." Though it began with the first pilgrim settlers and the early Native Americans sharing things like maize, butternut squash and tobacco, it has devolved into an annual holiday in which a turkey and multiple side dishes serve as a temporary and ineffective distraction from all the things that we'd prefer not to talk about with our families.
