Richard Samuelson looks at the role George Washington played in making Thanksgiving a part of our national heritage and Melanie Kirkpatrick places Thanksgiving at the heart of the American experience.

Discover the forgotten origins of Thanksgiving during the American Revolution as Professor Nick Giordano reveals how George Washington and the Continental Congress used national days of thanksgiving to strengthen a struggling nation. Far from the modern holiday of feasts and football, Thanksgiving in the Revolution was an act of resilience, unity, and survival, declared in the darkest moments of war. It's easy to give thanks when everything is going well. It's much more difficult to be thankful in times of despair. This powerful episode uncovers the wartime proclamations after Saratoga, Washington's Valley Forge orders, and the first national Thanksgiving in 1789, connecting the Founders' belief in gratitude to the challenges America faces today. A perfect Thanksgiving listen for anyone who wants to understand the real story behind one of America's most enduring traditions. Episode Highlights How Washington and the Continental Congress created wartime Thanksgivings during the Revolution, including the 1777 proclamation following the victory at Saratoga The raw, vivid reality of Valley Forge and why Washington insisted on thanksgiving and prayer during the most desperate winter of the war How Washington's 1789 national proclamation shaped the American tradition of Thanksgiving and why its message still matters today  

In the United States, we celebrate a National Holiday known as Thanksgiving on Thursday. But I believe that every day should be a day of thanksgiving. 

In this episode you discover the meaning and surprising origin of the phrase, "Black Friday". You'll learn how merchants conspired to change it's negative original connotation to one they thought was far more positive. Did it work? References:"Why Is It Called Black Friday?". Britannica.com.

Thanksgiving doesn't get any respect, but we're looking to change that. The beleaguered middle child of the holiday season, Thanksgiving is often overlooked. Yet so many elements of Thanksgiving (gathering with family, romanticizing our past traditions, and reckless binge-eating, among others) seem to make it the perfect holiday for a dad and for country music. We explore why Thanksgiving doesn't get its due and we take our best shot at creating a Country Music Thanksgiving Playlist.0:01 - The introduction: Why do we, in the country music and dad community, not elevate Thanksgiving to its rightful place as the American Holiday? 2:33 - A Bit of History about Thanksgiving and how it became today's National Holiday. Please note that Donnie had a lot of trouble with the word “popularization.” 5:30 - What does Thanksgiving mean to the Dads? What must you have to eat in order for it to be “right?” And how does being an adult make a difference? Donnie also talks about when he was in shape and ran really fast during a Turkey Trot (Much like the misremembered history of the holiday, Donnie made up a bit of the story, but he did come in first place in the Clydesdale division one year).13:16 - Deep-fried turkeys, roasting turkey and handling the bird like a chunky nine-month-old. Also, how do you pronounce “giblets?”16:30 - How do kids change your traditions? Establishing these rituals is very important, and with a bit of planning, you can do great things. But there is more that gets done, and less pure enjoyment and celebration. 19:08 - The great joy of being a parent comes from hard work, and what Donnie says to people who are considering having kids. 21:21 - A Call to Dad Action: We should take Thanksgiving and make it THE American Dad Holiday. 22:30 - What must be on your Thanksgiving table?26:20 - Donnie and Dave discuss why we think Thanksgiving doesn't get the respect it deserves. And like the Father of our Nation, George Washington, the Country Music Dads make a proclamation naming Thanksgiving the Dads' Holiday. 29:48 - Why are there no country music Thanksgiving songs? There are a few songs that work, and the Dads try to jam a square peg into a round hole. 40:51 - Green Bean Casserole is easy: Dads, you can up your game! Donnie outlines the entire process of making it—and it's super easy. 42:31 - Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie is a bonkers banana pants song, but it's a song about Thanksgiving. Sorta…44:00 Change My Mind: Donnie pretends to believe that turkey is overrated. And Dave changed my mind -- in the name of tradition. But everyone can agree that the next day sandwich is what Thanksgiving is really all about. Thank you for listening.

Welcome to the Christian's Hour Program, Thanks for joining us! TCH is a ministry of Gospel Broadcasting Mission. GBM's mission is to broadcast the message of Jesus, in their heart's language, to unreached people groups and tribes world-wide.This week we celebrate Thanksgiving, a National Holiday since 1863, that traces its origins to the Pilgrims in 1621. Thanksgiving's origins came out of a deep-rooted sense of gratitude to God. These days it almost seems the Holiday is tied more to family gatherings and meals, and giving thanks is secondary. Maybe it's time for a “course correction” to get back to our roots of giving thanks, to God?!This month, Bob Russell, is helping us with an “Thanksgiving Season - Heart Check” in preparation for a more meaningful Thanksgiving. Bob Russell is a retired senior minister of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, where he served for 40 years as “Southeast” became one of the largest churches in America. There is an old proverb that says “you reap what you sow”. In today's message, “An Attitude of Gratitude” Bob has 5 ways we can sow an attitude that can help us transform our personalities into someone who radiates Thanksgiving.

Anna's guest has launched a petition calling for a once-off national holiday on March 27th, 2026: the day after Ireland's World Cup playoff semi-final. The aim is to give the whole country the chance to come together and support the team during what could be a rare and historic moment for Irish football…If Ireland reaches the final, the petition also calls for March 31st and April 1st to be declared once-off holidays too. Supporters are encouraged to sign - and remember to verify their signature so it counts.Brion Kennedy, Irish Football Fan and Petition Founder and Daniel Hussey, Freelance Sports Journalist.

TCH is a ministry of Gospel Broadcasting Mission.GBM's mission is to broadcast the message of Jesus, in their own language, to unreached people groups and tribes world-wide.Thanksgiving, a National Holiday since 1863, it is said it traces its origins to the Pilgrims in 1621, and it came out of a deep-rooted sense of gratitude to God; and that gratitude was much more than a one day, one meal sort of thing.

Stuff… the world advertises it, constantly, our family, friends, neighbors flaunt it, our culture idolizes it. You know, accumulating stuff, doing stuff, going to see stuff. Problem is, at its best, stuff is still only temporary and more-over its really not fulfilling in the long term.

This is the Christian's Hour. TCH is a ministry of Gospel Broadcasting Mission.So, Thanksgiving. While it officially became a National Holiday in 1863 it is said it traces its origins to 1621 or even earlier. I would imagine that no matter when it was first celebrated; it came out of a deep-rooted sense of gratitude that was more than a one day or one meal sort of thing. Today, sometimes it seems the Holiday is tied more to family gatherings and meals. Maybe it's time for a “course correction” to get back to our roots of giving thanks to; God?!This month, our speaker, Bob Russell, is helping us with an “Thanksgiving Season - Heart Check” to help us prepare for a more meaningful Thanksgiving. Bob Russell is a retired senior minister of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, where he served for 40 years as “Southeast” became one of the largest churches in America. As a country, America has much to be thankful for, but as a whole we don't show it much. In the Bible, God's people, the Israelites, shared a similar affliction. In today's message Bob draws on the experiences of God's Chosen People to help us with a Manna and Meat “course correction” in preparation for a day of thanks to the one to whom all thanks is due!

Aaron asks with this historic Peace Deal should President Trump get his own national holiday, and if he did what day should it be. Then Aaron talks about how the Left is handling this huge win for President Trump.  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

Donald Trump successfully negotiated peace in the Middle East, fended off China's attempt to control the supply of rare earth elements, and reestablished Columbus Day as a National Holiday. Not bad for an extended weekend's worth of work.

You can't let time erase history, because without knowing where we're going we're just a spec in time.  You're just a piece of starstuff if you don't have a vector - got to know where we've been.  9/11 was one of those points in time that everyone has/knows/remembers, and without that memory (and comprehension), so much of what is afoot now (from warfighters and conflicts in the Middle East to Big Gov't miseries and threats aplenty) makes no sense.  Get a grip, people, and help those who've not come to understand what 9/11 means grasp its consequence - and the loss of it all. Join the Garage Hour in a little bit of remembrance this 9/11: thank a veteran, pat someone in law enforcement on the back (not by surprise, though), and pour one out for those who aren't with us anymore.  While we're at it, how about some Megadeth - this may be a somber day, but a little thrash metal makes everyone feel better.

It's on June 14th, already designated as Flag Day in the U.S. so Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, of New York,  introduced “Trump's Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act.”  It would “permanently codify” June 14th as a federal holiday called “Trump's Birthday and Flag Day.” Pulizer Prize winning author and investigative reporter David Cay Johnston will stop by to talk politics. We'll check in with Dr. Michael Daignault about escalating cases of the flu and measles. The Mark Thompson Show 2/18/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

On today's episode, the boys accomplish several milestones that have never occurred on the show before. I won't spoil them for you, but I will give hints. On Today is the Greatest, CJ proposes a new national holiday for bringing Super Bowl party leftovers to work. Spenny gets to work assembling a submission for an official new holiday. Madeline from Austin Monthly magazine stops by the show to discuss their annual singles' party. CJ explores his sordid past and how he ended up in the magazine himself. And has Madeline ever attended one of these events herself???? FIND OUT. LISTEN. Oh, and CJ finds a list of most expensive LEGO figures and kits. Apparently he owns some of them. Not sure why you'd announce that to the world, but okay. Let's rob him (let's please not do that)! Support the show: https://www.101x.com/cjSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

St. Patrick might be the most famous of the Irish saints...but he's far from the most interesting. In 2023, St. Brigid's Day was decreed a National Holiday in Ireland to honor Brigid. Over the millennia, this legendary woman has evolved into a figure encompassing myth, holy legend, pagan icon, and now modern feminist symbol. But who was Brigid, really? To answer that question, travel writer Nicola Brady set off around Ireland to see how she's celebrated, and she found that there's not one simple answer. Because, as with everything in Ireland, you never know quite what's around the corner. Listen for a story that takes you into forests and through time, from the windswept hills of Downpatrick to ancient cathedrals of Kildare. And you just might encounter some fire dancers, divine poetry, and even a miniature Batman on a bicycle...

Send us a textHello again and welcomer back to 50Talk. Cathy and Victor are back on the mic's again after our 1st cruise. Yes we are going to talk about it. So get ready to hear all the juicy details. We will give you The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly that we noticed on our little excursion. As older folks we did good flying into a huge city like Miami and got ourselves a Lyft, and we did it a few more times after that. Does that make us Lyft Experts?Any who, on to the important stuff that we have to talk about and of course that being Matin Luther Kings birthday and on Inauguration day this year. Dr. King was a great man for all Americans and would be so sad to see this President and what he is doing to this country on Dr. Kings day. That quiet possibly may have been the last time we (as Americans) get to Celebrate King as a National Holiday the way things have gone this last week.Victor did a thing on MLK Day. He removed himself from a couple different social networking sites. I think it's easier for me to do this because I am a GenX'er. We are the most resilient group of people. Could you guys give up "any social media" today and be okay with never using it again? That's some old people talk right there.A lot of things happened the day Joe Biden left office but, him giving people Preemptive Pardons was insane to me. Insane because it had to be done in our country today due to political differences. This is going to be a fun time the next four years. A brand new Nintendo Switch has been announced! Y'all know Victor loves him some Nintendo. So stay tuned for further information about that when I hear something.  We hope you guys enjoyed the episode and we will see you all next week.

Newt's talks with Melanie Kirkpatrick, author of “Thanksgiving: The Holiday at the Heart of the American Experience” and they discuss the history of Thanksgiving as a national holiday in the United States. Kirkpatrick highlights the pivotal role of Sarah Josepha Hale, an influential author and editor, who campaigned for nearly two decades to establish Thanksgiving as a national holiday. Her efforts culminated in President Abraham Lincoln's 1863 proclamation, which set the last Thursday in November as a day for national thanksgiving. Kirkpatrick describes Hale's significant contributions to American culture, including her advocacy for women's education and employment, her influence through Godey's Lady's Book and her personal resilience, literary achievements, and lasting impact on American traditions and holidays.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Syracuse University communications professor and former Emmy award-winning ESPN producer Dennis Deninger ("The Football Game That Changed America: How the NFL Created a National Holiday") joins the show to take us through the origin story and unlikely sociological trajectory of the Super Bowl - pro football's annual championship extravaganza that morphed from uncertain beginnings during the late 1960s AFL-NFL merger into one of America's dominant cultural touchstones.   From the book's dust jacket: The Super Bowl has changed what was just another wintry Sunday into America's unofficial holiday. It's the biggest entertainment event of the year. It's the most important advertising event of the year. It is the biggest gambling event of the year. More Americans watch this game than vote in presidential elections. How did this all happen? In "The Football Game That Changed America," Dennis Deninger reveals how the Super Bowl went from almost being canceled after its first two years to becoming an ingrained part of American life. He tells the story of how this colossal event came to be—including the challenges, stumbles, and amusing surprises along the way—and details the game's incredible impact well beyond the sports world, touching virtually every facet of life in the United States. + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Show & Defunct Team Merch:  http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY SPONSOR THANKS: Royal Retros (promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats   READ EARLY AND OFTEN: The Football Game That Changed America: How the NFL Created a National Holiday (2024): https://amzn.to/4cRKGhn   FIND AND FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable
