My cousin got a vasectomy. I’m basted and ready to be stuffed.
Yes there was a story of an early Thanksgiving in Plymouth.
Washington did declare a thanksgiving in 1789.
It was largely forgotten until Sarah Josepha Hale rebuplished the story in her newspaper.
The holiday we celebrate today came about due to the union losses in the first 2 years of the civil war. To buoy popular support most of the union governors called for a holiday of Thanksgiving.
It was Abraham Lincoln on July 15 1862 declared a day of Thanksgiving.
On August 6th 1863. He declared a national day of Thanksgiving due to the turn in the war now that the union was winning.
In October 1863 he declared another day of Thanksgiving. He eventually gave a number of days of Thanksgiving.
In 1939 FDR set the holiday to the next to last Thursday. This was to help boost the economy giving an extra 7 days for Xmas shopping.

Relevance to the post: zero.
Incest is fucking relative!
Pun aside, on a socio-cultural and legal level yes it is relative, it all depends how far separated you are on the cousin tree and what is legally and culturally acceptable. Like in many Middle Eastern countries first cousin marriages is straight up normal and not considered incest.
It’s legal in a lot of states in the US
Wincest
It’s absolutely fucking not.
Puns are not your strongsuit.
Puns are my entire existence. Stop judging people based on 1 misinterpreted comment. Do you realize how much it hurts for you to think that I’m bad at puns?! 😢
Probably not as much as finding out your parents are cousins
They incest that that’s not the case.
strongsuit
Not a word, my dude.

You got wooshed :)
It’s you guys who got wooshed.
But to be fair I suspected that my joke wasn’t obvious enough.
It absolutely is fucking.
Yeah, maybe I should’ve gone with that joke instead.
That fivehead is on point.
It explains much
can you explain this to a brit
Typically the joke is that you escape family on Thanksgiving with your cousins to go on a walk and get high before returning. This twists it and adds incest
I didn’t know we were supposed to get high! We just got out of the family for a while
I didn’t get high, I didn’t get laid… goddamn, how much of life did I miss?
It’s never too late to follow your dreams!
The Royal family
But the tweet doesn’t even mention nonces
Incest isn’t ALWAYS pedophilia.
I meant the Royal Family are nonces. They’re incestous too, but that’s besides the point
Sure! Thanksgiving is principally a national holiday in the U.S. that traces its roots to religious and historical traditions from England, particularly during the early 17th century colonies in the New World.
It’s meant to be an autumn harvest holiday. The apocryphal story is that Puritans sat down with Native Americans to feast and celebrate goodwill between their respective groups but the evidence for this is suspect at best.
Over time, Thanksgiving became more popular and involves heavy travel during the (pre-) holiday season. It’s a chance for families to enjoy each others’ company before Christmas and feast on roast turkey and a variety of vegetable dishes.
Hope this helps! Go with God.

So you’re saying she did nothing wrong?
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is most instructional in this regard.
They appear to be from Birmingham.
Not the UK one.
Does distinguishing country actually matter here?
So, they should know?
So much Giving, so much Thanks
