Federal government Quote by Jonathan Safran Foer

“We celebrate together, and that makes sense. And we don’t just gather, we eat. This wasn’t always so. The federal government first thought to promote Thanksgiving as a day of fasting, since that was how it had been frequently observed for decades.” quote by Jonathan Safran Foer — Download Open image
