What are You Most Thankful for This Year?

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we want to know what you're most thankful for this year.  (You don't need to necessarily support or celebrate this American holiday in order to comment on this.)  Are you most thankful for your loving significant other? Your job? Having a vacation home to escape to? Why?

Below are some fun and even surprising myths/facts about Thanksgiving we found via Indyposted.com as written by D. Evon.  The first one I kind of already had a hunch about, but the others were actually really surprising!

Thanksgiving Myth: The pilgrims ate Turkey at the first Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Fact: According to the CS Monitor, the pilgrims were more likely to eat duck and geese on Thanksgiving. The reason people eat Turkey today, is likely due to its cheap price.

Thanksgiving Myth: The first Thanksgiving was celebrated by the pilgrims in 1621.
Thanksgiving Fact: The pilgrims did not hold the first Thanksgiving. The first Thanksgiving was actually held in Texas by Spaniard Francisco Vásquez de Coronado and his troops. Thanksgiving was celebrated by American Indians, Europeans, and other cultures around the world before the pilgrims held their famous 1621 fall feast.

Thanksgiving Myth: Thanksgiving has always been a feast.
Thanksgiving Fact: The word “thanksgiving” has not always been associated with a massive feast. According to National Geographic, thanksgiving was actually a time to fast and give thanks in the 17th century.

Thanksgiving Myth: Potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie, have always been a part of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Fact: The pilgrims had to eat what was in season. National Geographic reports that the pilgrims likely had a spread of lobster, clams, nuts, and wheat flour, as well as vegetables such as pumpkin, squash, carrots, and peas.
