When George Washington,

was in his first term as president in 1789, he called for an official celebratory “day of public thanksgiving and prayer.” Congress overwhelmingly agreed to Washington’s suggestion, but the holiday did not become an official event. On October 3, 1863, expressing gratitude for the Union Army victory at Gettysburg,

President Abraham Lincoln,

proclaimed an official holiday of Thanksgiving for November 26, 1863, and beyond.

Since that day, Americans have celebrated the holiday with gatherings and later, football.  I think it appropriate in 2020 that we should reflect on Washington and Lincoln’s intentions for a national day of remembrance and thankfulness for our blessings as a people of the United States of America.

Thanksgiving is a perfect time to stop and reflect on all the things for which we are grateful. I am grateful for the fact that I have a group of capable and caring PJs that I can also call friends.

Thank you all for helping us achieve such great success this year and can't wait to see you all in 2021!
