However, it pays to think thrifty all winter 12 13 long—starting with Thanksgiving. While a turkey alone 14 might not tip your financial scale, holiday food, travel, 15 decorations, and entertainment can really add up (throw 16 in Black Friday and you’ve got a recipe for a financial 17 18 fiasco)! Thankfully, the educators at Money Manage- 19 ment International have a lot of ideas to share about 20 how to have a Thrifty Thanksgiving. 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 contents 1 2 3 4 Table of Contents 5 6 1 Front Cover 7 8 2 Intro 9 3 Table of Contents 10 4 Thanksgiving Dinner on a Budget 11 12 6 Four Ways to Stretch Your Thanksgiving Day Dinner 13 8 Thanksgiving Checklist 14 10 Go ‘Home for the Holidays’ on a Budget 15 16 11 Five Ways to Keep Tradition and Your Money this Thanksgiving 17 14 Five Ways to Break Tradition this Thanksgiving without Breaking the Bank 18 16 Frugal Decorating Tips for Turkey Day 19 20 18 Décor on a Dime: The Kids’ Table 21 23 Décor on a Dime: The Adults’ Table 22 26 Put the “Thanks” Back into the Thanksgiving Holiday 23 24 28 Leftovers: Another Reason to Give Thanks 25 30 Keep Your Finances in the Black this Thanksgiving Weekend 26 32 The True Cost of Thanksgiving Dinner 27 28 33 Your Thanksgiving Traditions 29 38 About MMI 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 contents 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Thanksgiving Dinner on a Budget 8 9 10 11 12 13 Thanksgiving is a time of 14 remembrance, to give thanks, 15 16 and appreciate those near and 17 dear to you. While the holidays 18 are a joyous occasion it can also 19 be stressful and cause a lot of 20 21 pressure on your wallet. 22 This Thanksgiving Day don’t worry 23 24 about how you’re going to pay 25 for the feast. Following are some 26 ways you can have a budget- 27 friendly Thanksgiving dinner. 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 Have a potluck. Thanksgiving is a holiday when friends and family gather 36 at one location. So why not make it a potluck and invite relatives to bring 37 a dish? Not only will you save on the cost of food, but you won’t have to 38 worry about cooking the entire meal yourself. Scale back on the quantities. Often when you think of Thanksgiving dinner, you think of large quantities of food. If you scale back portions and cut out foods people typically don’t eat, however, you can save a lot on your grocery bill. contents 1 Thanksgiving Dinner on a Budget 2 3 4 5 Shop sales. During the holidays you can find many of your favorites on sale for low prices. Get 6 organized by creating a list of items and ingredients. Look for coupons and shop early so you 7 don’t have to buy more expensive brands because the store ran out of less expensive options. 8 9 Buy in bulk. You can always find savings when you buy in bulk. Potatoes and apples are 10 cheaper by the bag. The same is true when purchasing big blocks of cheese, as well as herbs 11 12 and spices. If you don’t need large quantities of food, consider purchasing items together with 13 friends or neighbors and share the savings. 14 15 16 17 18 Finally, the turkey is usually the center- 19 piece for most traditional Thanksgiving 20 21 dinners. You can save a lot by buying a 22 store-brand frozen turkey instead of a 23 fresh turkey. Fresh turkeys usually have a 24 shorter shelf life and are more expensive 25 26 due to the means of packaging. If you 27 buy a frozen turkey, just make sure you 28 allow enough time to defrost. 29 30 31 32 33 Thrifty Quick Tip 34 35 Instead of spending a lot on new (and rarely needed!) 36 kitchen items, check thrift stores or borrow from 37 38 friends, family, or neighbors. contents 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Four Ways to Stretch Your Thanksgiving Day Dinner 9 10 11 12 The best part of Thanksgiving is devouring all the delicious food. Mouths water at the sight of 13 pumpkin pie. Stomachs leap for joy at the very mention of turkey and stuffing. This Thanksgiving Day, 14 feed your family foods that are sure to fill their stomachs, but won’t take a big bite out of your wallet. 15 To stretch your Thanksgiving meal and your budget, consider the following low cost foods. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Potatoes 1 26 Potatoes are a great source of vitamin C and potassium and they consistently rank number one as 27 28 one of the most filling food choices. Potatoes come in many varieties and the culinary possibilities are 29 endless. In addition, they are an affordable addition to any meal. 30 31 2 Brown rice 32 33 Brown rice offers more nutritional value than white rice; it is rich in protein, fiber, niacin, vitamin 34 B6, vitamin E, and potassium. Brown rice can be served in a variety of recipes including side dishes, 35 36 salads, casseroles, soups, and stews. 37 38 Thrifty Quick Tip Make it easy to share leftovers by inviting dinner guests to bring their own bags or plastic storage containers. contents 1 Four Ways to Stretch Your Thanksgiving Day Dinner 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 3 Whole wheat pasta 12 13 Whole wheat pasta is an excellent, inexpensive source of fiber and healthier than regular pasta. Foods rich 14 in fiber tend to be more filling, contribute to digestive health, and promote a reduction in cholesterol. Whole 15 wheat pasta is great for both hot and cold dishes. 16 17 18 19 20 4 Salads 21 22 Salads make great side dishes and delicious appetizers. If you choose, you can throw in shredded cheese, 23 bacon bits, cucumbers, or any other inexpensive ingredient to give your salad more flavor. Another alterna- 24 tive is to add fruit to the mix. Fruits salads are healthy, visually pleasing, and relatively inexpensive. 25 26 27 28 29 30 Thanksgiving is a time to chow down. Whether you 31 32 are hosting a large dinner party or a more intimate 33 one, your guests are sure to leave stuffed. It doesn’t 34 have to cost a fortune to serve food that is both 35 36 thrifty and healthy. With the right grocery list and 37 a little planning ahead, you can cook a Thanksgiv- 38 ing dinner that will leave both your guests and your wallet feeling full. Check out our list of some of our favorite vegetarian foods. contents 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Making a list and checking it twice isn’t just for Santa Claus this 8 holiday season.

Harvest Ceremony BEYOND THE THANK~GIVING MYTH - a study guide ­ Harvest Ceremony BEYOND THE THANKSGIVING MYTH Summary: Native American people who first encountered the “pilgrims” at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts play a major role in the imagination of American people today. Contemporary celebrations of the Thanksgiving holiday focus on the idea that the “first Thanksgiving” was a friendly gathering of two disparate groups—or even neighbors—who shared a meal and lived harmoniously. In actuality, the assembly of these people had much more to do with political alliances, diplomacy, and an effort at rarely achieved, temporary peaceful coexistence. Although Native American people have always given thanks for the world around them, the Thanksgiving celebrated today is more a combination of Puritan religious practices and the European festival called Harvest Home, which then grew to encompass Native foods. The First People families, but a woman could inherit the position if there was no male heir.

  • THANKSGIVING TURKEY DINNER Things You Need to Know: Unpack Your Box, and Place Everything, Except Your Rolls, in the Refrigerator
    THANKSGIVING TURKEY DINNER Things you need to know: Unpack your box, and place everything, except your rolls, in the refrigerator. Remember to take everything out of the refrigerator an hour before you begin to cook, to let it come to room temperature. The black and gold container bottoms are microwave and oven safe, the lids are not. Do not let the containers touch the sides of the microwave. The entire dinner can be hot, and ready to serve in about 2¼ hours. Below, you will find a timeline with suggested reheating times, and methods. For the best results, we recommend that you cook everything in the oven, except the mashed potatoes. As oven temperatures and microwave powers vary, please keep an eye on everything; you do not want to overcook anything. For dinner at 6 o’clock, follow this timeline. 2:45 Remove the bird from the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature. Open a nice bottle of wine. Begin sipping. 3:45 Turkey: simply remove from bag, leaving nylon truss on. Place in the roasting pan, along with all the juices, and heat at 325° for approximately 2 hours. Begin checking the temperature after 1½ hours. Your bird should be room temperature before reheating, and you should use a meat thermometer to see that the internal temperature is 160° before removing from the oven. Then let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. 5:25 Stuffing: take the lid off, and place stuffing in the oven. Cover tightly with foil for moister stuffing. For drier stuffing, leave uncovered until hot.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Neiv York • 1942 COPYRIGHT BY THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART SEPTEMBER 1942 ^ 3 2 CD %<-. '6« Thanksgiving and Harvest Festivals HARVEST FESTIVALS to celebrate the gathering in of the year's grain, with rites in honor of a deity of fruitfulness, are among the most an­ cient of human customs. The Greek worship of Demeter, goddess of grain, and the Hebrew celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles, or In­ gathering, are outstanding examples. The worship of Demeter and her daughter Persephone the Maiden was built about the theme of "seed time and harvest!' and tne Greeks' artistic genius recorded the story in painting and sculpture as well as in poetry and legend. Wherever grain was cut and threshed in ancient Greece, Demeter was honored, but the center of her worship was at Eleusis. Here, ac­ cording to legend, she had rested and been welcomed kindly on her search for Persephone, who, lost in the Underworld, symbolized the seed grain covered by the earth. In gratitude the goddess gave the king's son, Triptolemos, her sacred gift of grain, and a chariot drawn by winged dragons in which he could carry this gift throughout the land. And after Triptolemos became king himself he established Demeter's worship at Eleusis. These Mysteries at Eleusis, held early in October, were both the most sacred rites of Demeter and her greatest festival. Besides Demeter, Persephone and Iacchos (who was Dionysos, god of wine and vintage, by another name) were honored at this festival.

  • Thanksgiving Trivia Questions and Answers From: Conversationstartersworld.Com/Thanksgiving-Trivia-Questions
    Thanksgiving trivia questions and answers From: conversationstartersworld.com/thanksgiving-trivia-questions There are many countries and cultures that have a Thanksgiving holiday or celebrations based around giving thanks. But this set of trivia questions will focus mostly on Thanksgiving in the United States. Although there is a section at the end for trivia about Thanksgiving celebrations around the world. History of Thanksgiving in the USA What year was the celebration that is most commonly attributed as the first Thanksgiving? 1621 This is the celebration that people most often talk about when they are talking about the “first” Thanksgiving. But there are others that are claimed to be the first Thanksgiving. There was another celebration in Plymouth in 1623 and one in Boston in 1631 that people claim was the actual first Thanksgiving. In reality there were lots of Thanksgiving celebrations in North America before 1621 as well because days of Thanksgiving were often celebrated after good events that were deemed to have the hand of God behind them. How long did the first Thanksgiving celebration last? 3 Days It was celebrated much earlier than our current celebration, possibly in late September. There were about 50 European settlers and around 90 native Americans who attended the 3-day feast. When the religious group that would later be known as the Pilgrims left England to practice their religion freely, where did they go? Leiden, Holland Unlike the Puritans, the Pilgrims believed that they couldn’t practice their religion within the English state church. This led to fines and sometimes imprisonment. To escape persecution, they fled to Leiden, Holland.

Their leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the relative calm and tolerance of Holland in the Netherlands. Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims' story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States. History Separatists in Scrooby The core of the group that would come to be known as the Pilgrims were brought together by a common belief in the ideas promoted by Richard Clyfton, a Brownist parson at All Saints' Parish Church in Babworth, Nottinghamshire, between 1586 and 1605.

  • Deconstructing the Myths of “The First Thanksgiving” by Judy Dow (Abenaki)
    Deconstructing the Myths of “The First Thanksgiving” by Judy Dow (Abenaki) What is it about the story of “The First Thanksgiving” that makes it essential to be taught in virtually every grade from preschool through high school? What is it about the story that is so seductive? Why has it become an annual elementary school tradition to hold Thanksgiving pageants, with young children dressing up in paper-bag costumes and feather-duster headdresses and marching around the schoolyard? Why is it seen as necessary for fake “pilgrims” and fake “Indians” (portrayed by real children, many of whom are Indian) to sit down every year to a fake feast, acting out fake scenarios and reciting fake dialogue about friendship? And why do teachers all over the country continue (for the most part, unknowingly) to perpetuate this myth year after year after year? Is it because as Americans we have a deep need to believe that the soil we live on and the country on which it is based was founded on integrity and cooperation? This belief would help contradict any feelings of guilt that could haunt us when we look at our role in more recent history in dealing with other indigenous peoples in other countries. If we dare to give up the “myth” we may have to take responsibility for our actions both concerning indigenous peoples of this land as well as those brought to this land in violation of everything that makes us human. The realization of these truths untold might crumble the foundation of what many believe is a true democracy.
