The one above appeared in 1917. You can view others here. If you have time, check them out because they are all very cool!

This week is Thanksgiving. Tell us about how you might spend Thanksgiving day! Will you be with family? What will you eat? Do you do something special? Do you do something for others? What makes this a special day for you?

  21. Thanksgiving is a special time of year for my family. However, this year will be a bit different than in years past. Typically my sister and parents spend the holiday with my family, but this year my sister, Jenny, will not be there. She is actually going to Sweden on vacation with my brother. Not turkey for her! There may not even be turkey for us. We're talking about buying steak for Thanksgiving. It's almost un-American, isn't it! Every Thanksgiving, my husband, kids, and I run in the Turkey Trot that is in York. It's a fun way for us to start our day. After the holiday, my parents take my kids on vacation. This year they are going on a cruise and I will be coming to school. Good thing I love school:)
