--- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Nast... As per request from Abe, Mr. Nast created the pictures for what is now the concept of Thanksgiving and how people view Santa Claus

Here we are one more time and there still does not seem to be an interest in "the how" this all came into existence!

I can recall all kinds of "opinions" regarding the Emancipation Proclamation; I can definitely now recall many instances of confusion between it and the Gettysburg Address.

And now for the first time I see that it was an executive order of military authority.

Sarah Josepha Hale - "The Mother of Thanksgiving"

A few things tell me that Mr. Lincoln's motives were not as pure as those of the Ms. Hale - activist in women's rights and leading author of the movement.

Makes those little kindergarten pageant plays layers and layers of distasteful. I see Mr. Lincoln choosing a "two-birds-one-stone" approach on two MASSIVE public sentiment problems.
