Happy November, ScribbleFriends!

Thanksgiving Day is one of my favorite holidays. It’s a simple day, not too flashy like most of the other holidays, and everything about the day makes a lot of sense. Thanksgiving is a special day for us to give thanks for all we have. That’s why it’s called Thanksgiving. Get it? Thanksgiving is always celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November. I don’t know why, but I think it has something to do with Thanksgiving and Thursday both starting with “TH.”

There are four key Fs to Thanksgiving Day: Family, Friends, Food and Football. It works out well that baseball season is over, because baseball starts with B. Turkey is the main course of the big meal.  I believe that also has something to do with turkey starting with a T, like Thanksgiving.
Boy turkeys are called a tom (which is good and easy to remember since Tom is a boy name) and girl turkeys are called a hen (which is nice and easy to remember since “Henrietta” is a girl name). Only boy turkeys make gobble, gobble sounds (just like the boys at my house when we eat dinner – again, making it easy to remember).

Does your family have turkey on Thanksgiving? Do you make gobble sounds?
