While setting up my “Music of the day” posts for the Christmas season I thought I would also include the days between Thanksgiving and the first Sunday in Advent.
By the way, if you have a favorite seasonal song that I haven’t included in past years, I will be happy to include it!
One of a few things that I remember from kindergarten is learning this song for Thanksgiving. The other two are making clay snakes, and napping on the rug that my mother knit for me.
I posted this in late November, 2020. Amazing how true it was, and how people DID remember!
In 1789, we celebrated our first official Thanksgiving as a Nation. On October 3, 1789, George Washington issued the Proclamation at the request of Congress. Then, as now, there was controversy surrounding the necessity, or even the seemliness, for the Federal government to issue such a proclamation.

And his boys are sleeping in a shelter tent for a few days to raise awareness for those who are sleeping in tents after the hurricane (theirs has a small heating/cooking wood stove).
They were subject to ‘bomb threats’ and swatting attempts, spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday.
Several of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet were targeted by “bomb threats” and “swatting” attempts on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, a Trump spokeswoman said.
In a statement issued on social media, Trump transition team spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that unnamed Cabinet nominees and administration officials were subjected to “violent, un-American threats to their lives and those who live with them.”
Leavitt said that law enforcement officials acted quickly to mitigate the problem, but didn’t provide further details.
“President Trump and the entire transition team are grateful for their swift action,” she said, referring to law enforcement officials.
It’s not clear if a police report was filed or if an investigation is underway. The Epoch Times contacted the U.S. Secret Service and National Security Council for comment on Wednesday.
Trump’s incoming U.S. ambassador to Israel, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) released a statement soon after, confirming she was targeted by a bomb threat.
“This morning, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, her husband, and their three year old son were driving home to Saratoga County from Washington for Thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat to their residence,” her office said in a statement on X.
U.S. Capitol Police, local police, and New York State police responded to the incident, she added.
Remember this?
Now this. Seems that Trump and his staff have learned from past experience:
