The Thanksgiving Witch
2 s!!:.,,;CY1

"HERE'S q witch in the kitchen
who's baking and brewing.
And mixing and molding. and
sitting and stewing.
She is up to her elbows in raisins
and spices.
As she chops and she peeis and she
In.aces and slices.
Around her the fragrance OF pumpkin pie
hovers,
Each minute a new kind OF dainty dis
covers,
As stirring and sleeping, and basting and
sieving,
Ny capable sweetheart prepares for
Thanksgiving.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1919-11-20

With fessts and offerings and q thankful
strain. Pope.
The favorite way Of celebrating
Thanksgiving in New England was, Of
course, first with prayer and sermon,
In which the minister told his congre-
CATION the many things they had to be
thankful for. The church was generally
decorated with fruits and grains, and
when the custom became national this
was continued. The idea Of the Thanks
giving dinner In New England was to
have all of the fruits Of the harvest.
and turkey became the principal meat
course because this bird was so plenti-
full and was caught In the wild state
and prepared most appetizingly by the
housewives.
Then there was pumpkin pie, and as
cranberries grew In great quantities In
New England states the sauce Of that
berry was a fitting addition to the
turkey course. Plum cake. or. as it has
come to be known. fruit cake, was a
favorite for the Christmas holidays In
England and was brought over with
other dainties by the first Of the set
tiers. and the recipes for making treas.
ured by the housewives.
Meat pies, or. as we call them, mince
pies, came later In the list Of good
things for Thanksgiving.
With the very earliect settlers the
day was. indeed, day Of prayer, and
little else besides. but later II became
a feast day. as well. and II was poor
family. indeed. In New England that
could not afford turkey for Thanks
living dinner.

"HIS famous poem comes to
mind with each recurring
Thanksgiving day, and carries
us back to 1921 when the land
was young and our pilgrim forbears
were laying the first foundation stones
Of our great American republic. To
them belongs the credit Of having cele-
brated the first Thanksgiving day In
New England. but not the first In
North America. Historians remind US
OF the fact that In the year 1878 an
English minister named Wolfall con-
Quoted Thanksgiving service on the
shores of Newfoundland. The min
lister was with an expedition under
Froblsher which brought the first Eng
lish colony to settle on those shores.
1t was In this pious spirit or graft
tude that the Pilgrims on the "stern
and rock-bound coast" Of Plymouth
"praysed God" in sincere gratitude for
the way ir which he had delivered
them from all the dangers Of the deep
that the Mayfower had gone through.
We of the luxurious plenty Of our day
would feel that we had little for
which to be grateful II we had no
more than the Pilgrims had on their
first Thanksgiving day. Dangers known
and unknown encompassed them round
about, and their days were filed with
hard labor, while their fare was Of the
plainest and the future was uncertain.
But they had stout hearts In which
hope ran high. OF the American
Thanksgiving one historian says:
''The annual celebration. as we have
