The Thanksgiving Economy

| November 17, 2020


It’s been 399 years since the first Thanksgiving feast in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and the holiday has since become a beloved hallmark of autumn joy, a celebration of gratitude and reflection in the company of those dearest to us. The day itself offers plenty to be thankful for: reuniting with loved ones, carving the turkey, catching the scent of a freshly baked pumpkin pie, arranging a cornucopia at the center of your dinner table.
