Miss Thanksgiving Day Buzzkill says Thanksgiving traditions all based on myths
Can’t wait til this lady sets us straight about Christmas. Of course these a big fat guy living at the North Pole, right? Right! Wait, what?
Everything you know about the “first” Thanksgiving is wrong.
Plymouth Rock.
Pilgrims.
Perseverance.
Big feast.
Happy Indians sharing in the bounty.
According to award-winning filmmaker Patty Loew, it’s all bunk, except maybe the part about eating turkey. Early settlers were so hungry they ate about anything with fur or feathers.
Otherwise, there is little connection between reality and the version of Thanksgiving events still taught in most schools.
That point was hammered home Sunday by Loew.
