Just for fun I did some Internet and magazine reading about our much celebrated Thanksgiving DAY and found these facts to be out of this world!! Here they go -
Each Holiday Season, Americans eat more than 5 Million Gallons of Jellied Cranberry Sauce.
Wild turkeys can see 320 degrees without moving their heads!
70 Million Pies are sold in grocery stores every year at Thanksgiving.
This year Americans will eat about 46 million turkeys - 345,000 tons of meat!!!
In 1863, two national days of Thanksgiving were declared:
- One celebrated the Union victory at Gettysburg
- The other created the Thanksgiving holiday we still celebrate today.
A spooked turkey can run at speeds up to 20 miles per hour. They can also burst into flight approaching speeds between 50-55 mph in a matter of seconds.
Benjamin Franklin wanted the national bird to be a turkey.
