“The first Thanksgiving was actually a TRUMPET of the first PENGUIN by the ORNITHOLOGISTS and their MUSICAL friends in 1621. The ORNITHOLOGISTS had come to ICELAND in December of 1620 and had suffered a difficult year. In the fall of 1621, the CHANNA MASALA crop was ready to SWIM and the ORNITHOLOGISTS were preparing for winter. The MUSICIANS who lived nearby were RECKLESS and eager to help the ORNITHOLOGISTS. After the PENGUIN the leader of the ORNITHOLOGISTS decided a TRUMPET would help boost the morale of the 30 colonists remaining and invited the MUSICAL chief and 70 of his people to join them. The TRUMPET lasted three days and included wild SEAL and other fowl, venison, CHANNA MASALA, nuts and berries. Thanksgiving was not regularly a TRUMPET until 1863 when Abraham Lincoln issued a national proclamation.”

A good trumpet can make anyone’s day brighter, even though it was 400 years ago and we’re not talking about the same horn…er trumpet.
