5. Turkey Trot
It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it. … There are some things in every country that you must be born to endure; and another hundred years of general satisfaction with Americans and America could not reconcile this expatriate to cranberry sauce, peanut butter, and drum majorettes.

6. Thanksgiving is also a legal holiday in Canada. When does it fall?
A. Second Monday in October
QQ: Because Canada is north of the United States, its harvest comes earlier in the year. Accordingly, the Thanksgiving holiday falls earlier in Canada than in the United States. The Canadian Parliament set aside Nov. 6 for annual Thanksgiving observances in 1879. In 1957 the date was shifted to an even earlier day, to the second Monday in October.
7. Although America’s Thanksgiving Day celebration is a part of colonial history and a longstanding New England tradition, how did it become a national holiday?
E. These are all true.
QQ: Do you know why some states were slow to adopt this national custom? Many Southerners saw the new holiday as an attempt to impose Northern customs on them. Just a bit of bonus Civil War trivia!
8. During the 20th century, as the population of the United States became increasingly urban, new Thanksgiving traditions emerged that catered to city dwellers. What was one of those new traditions?

QQ: The turkey was originally domesticated in Mexico. The ocellated turkey is native to the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico and adjacent Guatemala and Belize.

Skis were originally used in Scandinavia for transportation and hunting, and they have been used in military maneuvers since the 13th century.
