George F. Will: Giving thanks
Our great civic celebration … and a time to turn inward with family

“Twas founded be th’ Puritans to give thanks f’r bein’ presarved fr’m th’ Indyans, an’ … we keep it to give thanks we are presarved fr’m th’ Puritans.”
– Finley Peter Dunne
WASHINGTON - But the Pilgrims who bequeathed to us Thanksgiving were not Puritans, at least as we use that term to denote busybodies bent on extirpating dissipation, meaning fun. Excessive merriment was not a pressing problem for the half of the Mayflower’s 102 passengers who survived the first few months in wintry Massachusetts.
True, the Pilgrims left Holland for America in part because the Dutch had too much fun, even on Sunday, when the Pilgrims’ services would last four hours, the congregation standing throughout. And two Pilgrim brothers did quarrel because one said the other was “blinded, bewitched and besotted” by his wife, a “bouncing girl who wore whalebones in her breast, an excessive deal of lace and a showish hat.”
