Today's fact is a guest fact:
Thanksgiving originally developed around 600 B.C. in Athens, despite modern beliefs of origination among pilgrims to the, now, United States. In fact, Plato once said, 'Thanks in giving should be of utmost importance.' Socrates agreed. Jesus even said something along the same lines: 'Love your brother and give thanks. Thanksgiving should be your ultimate goal in life.'
