Let's talk Turkey
- Shabuoth or Shavuoth, also Feast of Weeks or Pentecost, is celebrated in the late spring during the Hebrew month of Sivan, seven weeks after Passover. In biblical times the festival was a thanksgiving for the grain harvest. Later tradition associates the holiday with the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai.
- Only tom turkeys gobble. Hen turkeys make a clicking noise.
- High viewership of these holiday games has made football an American Thanksgiving tradition. Yet another retail strike against America! And for your football trivia, The Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Oilers could not be part of any long-standing tradition as the Panthers and Jaguars were part of the 1995 expansion of the NFL and the Oilers moved to Tennessee in 1997 to become the Titans.
- The turkey trot ragtime dance is characterized by a springy walk with the feet well apart and a swinging up-and-down movement of the shoulders.

My domestic turkeys fly enough to get up to higher places in their pens, and one managed to flap and get up high enough to knock itself out, a mortal mistake! I don't know that they could fly very far, or very long, or very high, but they do seem to be able to use their wings to get up to a higher level.

Let's talk turkey some more
- He may have loved to eat turkey, but after the selection was made, Franklin wrote to his daughter, referring to the eagle's "bad moral character," saying, "I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country! The turkey is a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America."
- The cornucopia (a horn-shaped basket overflowing with fruits and vegetables) is a typical emblem of Thanksgiving abundance that dates to ancient harvest festivals. Many of the images commonly associated with Thanksgiving are derived from much older traditions of celebrating the autumn harvest.
- Domesticated turkeys cannot fly. Wild turkeys can fly for short distances up to 55 miles per hour and can run 20 miles per hour.
- This was a tough question, because according to the USDA the French, the Italians, the Germans, and the British all follow US consumption of turkey (in that order).
- Come on, even if you didn't know that Kwanzaa was Swahili for "first fruits" this is a Thanksgiving-theme quiz! Kwanzaa has its roots in the ancient African first-fruit harvest celebrations from which it takes its name. However, its modern history begins in 1966 when it was developed by African American scholar and activist Maulana Karenga

A final serving of turkey trivia
- The Virgin Islands rejoice in the end of the hurricane season on Oct. 25
- Turkeys weren't introduced into Europe from the Spanish colonies in South America until 1523. However, by 1524, turkeys, imported from South America, were eaten at the court of King Henry VIII of England.
- 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.
- The turkey was originally domesticated in Mexico. The ocellated turkey is native to the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and adjacent Guatemala and Belize.
- June is National Turkey Lovers' Month, after all, June is the month for lovers, isn't it?

Well, we don't have it here, so I'd have to say Christmas is the best tasting holiday for us. :)
