Card of the Day - 2021-11-21

The reason for the two dates is that this set was reprinted, but in exactly the same format, in 1922, so it is almost impossible to know which date a certain card was taken from the packet.

Now I am going to be honest here and say when I added this I was thinking of doing World Hello Day for the theme of the week, but when I looked later on in the evening that was on Sunday, not Wednesday. But did you know that by some stroke of luck Mexico also celebrates Thanksgiving Day, and at about the same time.

Their Thanksgiving is more religious than it tends to be in the United States, but also celebrating the Harvest and its successful conclusion. and both countries decorate their homes and stores with pumpkins, fruits, and autumn leaves.

It is thought that the Mexican Thanksgiving came first, which may seem rather curious, until you consider that harvest festivals date from ancient times; the first of all, known as Lugnasadh, was celebrated in Celtic lands well before the tenth century AD.
