A different Thanksgiving Day

A different Thanksgiving story

Mrs. Zeta

Traditionally, when we talk about Thanksgiving we always go back to basics: the Mayflower, the pilgrims, the Native Americans, the harvest, the pumpkins, the turkey and the first Thanksgiving feast in Plymouth. We talk again and again about the pumpkin pie, how Abraham Lincoln decided that it was going to be an annual celebration and -more recently- about the NFL games that take place during this day. Well, not today. Today we will learn something different. Today we will talk about the White House, President Coolidge, his wife Grace... and Rebecca.

Here you can see Grace Coolidge holding Rebecca. Yeah, that cute racoon is Rebecca. Who were you thinking that Rebecca could be but an evasive, furry, mischievous, very smart and absolutely adorable bandit racoon?

If you're starting to ask yourself what's the point of all of these random facts now you'll be able to solve the mystery. In order to do it, you'll get a tiny bit of information and a visual clue to start your new task:

Rebecca was a present for the President Coolidge and his family. A man decided to change the tradition, went to the White House with a raccoon in his hands and said: "Here you have this; instead of turkey, this Thanksgiving Day you can eat a raccoon. The meat is delicious. I eat it all the time".
