Thanksgiving 2019 is upon us. It's a day for us to all get along, put aside our differences. It's a day to remember how lucky we are to live in this country. We decided to put together what we're thankful for in 2019. Please share your thoughts in the comments!

A few years ago I remember listening to a random episode of the Rush Limbaugh Show live when Rush was on holiday and had a guest speaker sitting in from New York City. He did a segment on the much-ballyhooed “War on Christmas” that has been contentiously discussed on the right side of the aisle and flatly disregarded on the left.

I wasn't planning on a "Thanksgiving" post. This is a late in the day inspiration, now that we have returned home from a relative's house and I'm fighting my best to keep from falling asleep.

This is one of my favorite pieces of American history. It speaks so much to who we are and who we are meant to be as a people. And that's why I post it every year. George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation written in 1789 is essential holiday reading. The colonies frequently set, "aside days of thanksgiving, prayer, and fasting in response to significant events," according to Mount Vernon's historical sources.

Tuesday, President Trump pardoned two turkeys -- Peas and Carrots. This year, voters selected the turkey to be pardoned via a poll on the White House's official website.

Around this time every year, coastal media trot out a series of articles "preparing" a very particular set of readers for encounters with opinions unlike their own, which says more about them than the subject of their writing, but anyway... This year is no different, except for the fact that their attempts to normalize contentious Thanksgiving Dinner conversation are far less veiled than years past. Once upon a time, there was at least a pretense of impartiality. But this is 2018 and everything with which they disagree is abhorrent and at the very least, racist.

Happy Thanksgiving. This year, I wanted to take an in-depth look at cranberries, which are second only to the turkey drumstick as the favorite component of my holiday meal. The little, red sphere of tartness turns out to be only one of three fruits that naturally occur in North America (the other two being blueberries and Concord grapes).
