Sorry to burst your bubble Rambo but thanksgiving was actually started by the first founders of America, the Vikings, on the rock (sorry NOT Plymouth rock but actually Newfoundland). Erik the beautiful and his crew of savage manly men were shipwrecked on the western shore of Newfoundland and with winter coming on were destined to a slow lingering death, when an aborigine fishing party of warlike newfies found their encampment. Upon seeing the fair Eric they nursed him and his band to health with liberal portions of cod livers and a native medicine called screech. There are still descendants of Newfies living in Newfoundland today. Canadians celebrate this original Thanksgiving in October when copious amounts of cod liver and screech are consumed. The Americans borrowed and embellished this story and moved the holiday to November to coincide with their primary holiday called Black Friday. I always enjoy educating our great neighbour to the south and take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful American Thanksgiving. However..... though we will give you credit for your Thanksgiving, you may never take credit for Lisa. She was born and bred in Canada and this honour we will never concede! And yes..honor should be spelled "honour"
