**I wish you, your friends and families a most wonderful Thanksgiving on behalf of all of us at Simple Marketing Now!**

In anticipation of the holiday, I re-visited some of the past Thanksgiving articles I've written and came across several highlights that I thought you might enjoy. 

### **Curious about Wild Turkeys?**

From [Kinnelon Critter File: Wild Turkeys](http://smokerise-nj.blogspot.com/2008/11/kinnelon-critter-file-wild-turkeys.html) (written in 2008!), interesting details about [Wild Turkeys](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Turkey):

Did you know that Wild Turkeys are native to North America? And that in the early 1900s the turkey population was as low as 30,000. Today, it is closer to 7 million birds.

Wild turkeys are omnivores, occasionally eating frogs and snakes.

*Turkeys' "heads and necks are colored brilliantly with red, blue and white. The color can change with the turkey's mood, with a solid white head and neck being the most excited."  *

If you are fascinated with wild turkeys, check out [Cornell University's All About Birds: Wild Turkey](http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Wild_Turkey.html) summary which includes a recording of turkey calls. 

Did you know that [Benjamin Franklin wished the Turkey were the national bird ](http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/birds/wild-turkey.html)over the eagle? He considered turkeys more noble...

Note: if you do come across a wild turkey (we have one lurking around our church), make sure the turkey can't see its reflection! See [Wild turkey trashes New Jersey home, causes up to $7,000 in damage](http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/05/us/turkey-break-in/).

### **Curious About Thanksgiving?**

From [Happy Thanksgiving!](http://flooringtheconsumer.blogspot.com/2007/11/happy-thanksgiving.html) written in 2007, here's a link to [The History Channel's History of Thanksgiving site](http://www.history.com/minisite.do?content_type=Minisite_Generic&content_type_id=872&display_order=1&mini_id=1083). (There's also a sweet video of my daughter when she was about 6 saying thanks.)

I recommend to you [my all time favorite Thanksgiving story by Art Buchwald](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11965-2004Nov25.html).

### **Happy Thanksgiving from Simple Marketing Now!**

What do you have planned for Thanksgiving? How will you celebrate?

Many thanks for reading this blog. I wish you a wonderful holiday.

Best,
