Sarah Joseph Hale, (1788 - 1879), author of Mary Had A Little Lamb, is the acclaimed Godmother of Thanksgiving. She worked tirelessly to make sure that Thanksgiving was recognized as a national holiday.
In fact, the entire layout of our annual feast is modeled on her accounts of early New England celebrations, which emphasized a roast turkey. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln declared it a national holiday.
Thank you, Sarah Joseph Hale!

That said, I wish you all a very
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
