I am honestly thankfully this place exists so I can rant and argue tedious nonsense that is oddly enjoyable.

Also, black Friday should be a nationalized holiday so people can get a 4 day holiday with family.

They already jipped us over presidents day, two presidents, two days.

Happy holidays.

"In March of 1598, Onate started a 50-day march across the Chihuahuan Desert with 500 soldiers and colonists and 7,000 head of livestock. The group ran out of food and water after enduring seven days of deluging rain followed by 43 days of scorching heat. When they reached the Rio Grande, two colonists and two horses drowned attempting to quench their thirst.

After recovering for 10 days, Onate’s expedition celebrated a day of Thanksgiving on April 30, 1598, with game provided by Spanish soldiers and fish from natives of the region. According to one expedition member: “We built a great bonfire and roasted meat and fish, and all sat down to a repast the like of which we had never enjoyed before.” Franciscan missionaries said a Mass, and Onate claimed what is now El Paso for the Spanish king. After the celebration, Onate’s group traveled along the Rio Grande River, eventually settling in Santa Fe, New Mexico."

I'm thinking if you run out of food it is okay to reach your destination with 6,995 head of cattle instead of 7,000.
Black Friday this year could probably be a pay-per-view event.

Canada's thanksgiving predates the US Plymouth event by 40 years.

However the Spanish in Florida predates the Canadians by 15 years or so to.

The Canadian version has the only distinction of not taking place on American soil as it was on a ship.
