In his 1863 Proclamation of Thanksgiving which set the precedent for the American national day of Thanksgiving, President Abraham Lincoln said:
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies…. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise…
On that note, our new collection of Thanksgiving ecards is now on line – enjoy!
And for those celebrating the holiday, may it be a wonderful day…
