This is a national holiday in the United States, important ever since the newly arrived Pilgrims and the native Wampanoag gave thanks in 1621. To Americans observing it, the Rifftides staff sends wishes for a Happy holiday. To readers in the US and around the world: thank you for your interest, readership and comments, which are always welcome.
To those who treasure memories of Vince Guaraldi’s Peanuts holiday specials from your childhood—or maybe your adulthood—this may be familiar.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
