Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday of the year for the sheer fact that it forces us to do nothing but eat, drink, and hang out with family, but it’s also a reminder that there are two sides to every story, and the one we’re all accustomed to may not be the most realistic version. Check out this article deconstructing the myths behind the holiday and a suppressed speech from Wamsutta James to get you thinking.

But then get off the computer and go be grateful!
