This page contains my collection of Thanksgiving Greetings. Thanksgiving
became a national holiday in America in 1863 by presidential proclamation.
During the Victorian era it was customary for the servants of the household to
be given the day off, therefore the women of the family would plan days in
advance for the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday to insure that all of the cooking
and cleaning was completed prior to the arrival of the first guests. Then, as
now, the most important custom on Thanksgiving was the gathering of family and
friends, and being thankful for the togetherness the Holiday brings. Below
are 11 Thanksgiving Greetings from the turn of the century. These are free for
you to use, with our compliments. Click on any thumbnail and it will open a
