    Hi Sallie, I am immersed in your products and so excited to send items to my granddaughter whom I have not seen since February. She and I both loved the butterfly fun fact cards. Today I have copied the Thanksgiving fun fact cards and will send them to her along with a biography of Sarah Hale, the lady whose efforts to have a national Thanksgiving holiday were honored by President Lincoln. Unfortunately, I have found two of your cards’ facts misleading. Lincoln made Thanksgiving a national holiday with a proclamation, and later FDR changed the date for two years and then switched it back to the fourth Thursday in November. I have tried to determine if Lincoln’s proclamation was the fourth or the last Thursday of the month and if they are one in the same. The other fact is that Harry Truman did not pardon a turkey. The Truman Library officially denies that. I think I read either Kennedy or Bush started that tradition. It is surprising how many of our Thanksgiving historic ideas are questioned. Some say first Thanksgiving was in Florida. I can’t even go there. Thanks for all your ideas and hard work.
