34 Adorable And Funny Thanksgiving Postcards From The Past That Are Plainly Strange

You are familiar with Thanksgiving if you are from any nation that observes it. It is rather more difficult for the rest of the world to comprehend, and our purpose is to educate you.

The term comes from the fact that it is essentially a day to express gratitude for the events of the previous year. It happens every fourth Thursday of November, at least in the United States.

Simultaneously, it is observed on the second Monday in October in Canada. Way back in 1863, a family dinner was typically held to commemorate Thanksgiving.

It usually consists of, among other things, turkey, potatoes, corn, cranberries, and pumpkin pie. If you're an American, you're probably getting ready for Thanksgiving by cooking, visiting family, or doing something similar.

If you're from somewhere else, you've undoubtedly seen Americans getting ready for this holiday online and may even hope that your culture would observe it as well. In any case, this list offers plenty of ideas to get you in the mood for Thanksgiving.

It includes a variety of vintage postcards regarding the occasion. Turkeys, the birds consumed during the feast, dominate the pictures in today's roundup of vintage Thanksgiving postcards.

You'll see that almost all of the postcards we included feature the bird. Let's have a look, but if you have meleagrisphobia—a fear of turkeys—be careful!
