POPSMacys Thanksgiving Parade Water Globe for 2007 I love these annual snowglobes. I have the one from 2000, which may be the last one to contain the World Trade Center. This one is particularly nice. The ones that incorporate a snowglobe into statuary can be particularly charming. Of course, it wouldn't be complete without the miniature Tom Turkey float. $65.00 at Macys

POPSSigning the Mayflower Compact The first Thanksgiving was a year away when the Pilgrims, moored off Cape Cod, put pen to paper, agreeing to create laws for the governing of the new colony, and to abide by them: "Having undertaken, for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith and Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the First Colony in the Northern Parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another, Covenant and Combine ourselves together into a Civil Body Politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute and frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience."

POPSA brief story of the first Thanksgiving
Mental Floss has a nice, brief history of the first Thanksgiving, including a few of the foods that were served at that first festival (which was three days long). There were no pumpkin pies or cranberry sauce, no sweet or white potatoes. Yes, there was turkey, but there was also venison, swans, ducks, partridges and seafood including lobsters, clams and eel. The vegetables were usually stewed: squash (including pumpkins - a new treat for the Pilgrims) onions, beans, peas and carrots. There was no sugar available, so they satisfied their sweet tooth with corn pudding and dried berries. All this was cooked primarily by the nine surviving females: four married women and five adolescent girls. Fire roasting (such as venison) was handled by the men. Water at the time could easily be contaminated, so the Pilgrims and their Native American guests drank beer and occasionally goat's milk. No cows at that time, either. There are some good links to authentic recipes and more history,

POPSLa CornuFe 110 range I love the old French look of this range. With five burners and two ovens, it's far more than I need, except perhaps for Thanksgiving, but it's a beautiful piece. Available in black, ivory, burgundy, French blue and stainless steel, with nickel/stainless, brass/stainless or copper/stainless trim.

POPSCountdown to Thanksgiving Family Fun has a four-week list to help get ready for the holidays. One important tip: "Remember that you have to allow 24 hours for every 5 pounds if you're going to defrost a turkey in the refrigerator. That means a 15-pound turkey will take three full days, so get started on Monday." Ready...set....go!
