Thanksgiving 2023
23 November 2023
This post (here) by historian Heather Cox Richardson gives the American history of this holiday, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States, the second Monday of October in Canada and at similar times elsewhere.
Thanksgiving is also the traditional time for radio stations to play Arlo Guthrie’s song, Alice’s Restaurant.
Three YouTube versions are below.
The first two videos (which are sequential) are from 1970. In part 1, Guthrie accidentally omitted the text about the psychiatric exam at 7:30. For both videos, click on “Watch on YouTube”.
