DECK THE HOLIDAY'S

  Scince it’s Friday (woo hoo!) I thought we’d do something fun. These little turkeys (speaking of turkeys, did you see  what mine did yesterday ??) are perfect for school parties, family nights, and Thanksgiving place holders. At the end there’s an easy pilgrim hat as well. I don’t really know where this idea originated from- I made the turkeys as a kid as I’m sure many of you have and I’ve seen the little hats all over the internet. Both Turkey Day classics, so go have some fun! Ingredients/Supplies: Double Stuff  Oreo Cookies Candy Corn Whoppers Peanutbutter Cups Chocolate frosting Yellow Frosting Optional: Red frosting Optional: black sprinkles for eyes *For these kinds of things I love to use the little pre-filled tubes of colored frosting you can buy in the baking isle. The chocolate is easy to make, and homemade actually works a little better because you can make it stiff. However for the colored details like yellow and red, these little tubes a

   The ship ' Mayflower ' has played a very significant role in the history of Thanksgiving, because it was the historic ship that took the Pilgrims to America in 1620. The pilgrims were basically the fortune hunters, bound for the resourceful 'New World'. And the 'Mayflower' was a small ship crowded with men, women and children besides the sailors on board. The first record available about the ship 'Mayflower' is somewhere in 1609. At that time it was a merchant ship, which traveled to Baltic ports, most notably Norway.    At that time, that is around 1609, Christopher Nichols, Richard Child, Thomas Short, and Christopher Jones owned the Mayflower. The weight of this ship was about 180 tons and it rested in Harwich. Initially this ship was employed for the purpose of transportation of goods such as tar, lumber, fish and possibly some Greenland whaling. But later on this ship was employed in Mediterranean wine and spice trading.    In

    Pizza is one of my favorite foods, it's probably alot of other peoples favorites too. Especially here in the U.S. I thought this story of one of America's favorite foods just to break away from the stuff that happens each and every day. It's not just a Italian favorite, but also probably one of most Americans top foods to eat.     The history of pizza is cloudy at best, with a variety of theories and speculation. Some claim it is based on the pita bread found in the Mid-East. There is also a theory that pizza came from the unleavened bread "matzo" brought to Rome by Italian legionnaires. Others insist, pizza evolved from the famous "foccacia" served in Rome about 1,000 years ago, as a snack. Another theory is that pizza was brought to Italy by Greeks, during the first century.     There may be as many theories about the origins of pizza as there are different types of pizza!     There is agreement that pizza may have been

    Veterans Day   is an official   United States   federal holiday   that is observed annually on November 11, honoring people who have served in the   U.S. Armed Forces , also known as   veterans . It coincides with other holidays including   Armistice Day   and  Remembrance Day , which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the end of   World War I   (major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the   Armistice with Germany   went into effect). The United States also originally observed Armistice Day; it then evolved into the current Veterans Day holiday in 1954.    Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day; Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who gave their lives and those who perished while in service.
