Vintage card with the message For A Happy Thanksgiving. The picture shows a small child with a large axe facing off against a turkey
Continuing the occasional series of vintage and strangely inappropriate greetings cards for Thanksgiving...
I would suggest that perhaps "For a Happy Thanksgiving" you should not issue your small child with a large axe and tell them to forage for their own dinner.

Seven out of the eight adult volunteers who came out to install the 96 Oakworth Remembrance Trail Boards on Thursday 30th October 2025. Each volunteer is holding a white A3 sized correx board printed with details of a serviceman who died in either the First or the Second World Wars, which will go on to lamp-posts near their homes from before they enlisted. Behind this group is a large laurel hedge and a drystone wall.
A man is standing in front of a stage in a village hall and he is holding a clipboard. He is talking to a large group of people seated on several rows of chairs, many of whom are Army Cadets and Sea Cadets in uniform. Nobody has fallen asleep, yet...
Yesterday we launched our #Oakworth #Remembrance #Trail. We installed 96 boards on lamp-posts around our village, next to, or close to the homes of the Oakworth men who died in the first and second world wars. A QR Code guides visitors to their biographies on our website:
