Despite the stresses that sometimes accompany the holiday, a Texas A&M psychology professor says taking time to be thankful can help us feel a greater sense of meaning in our lives.
Chef Luke Rayford has cooked at Texas A&M dining hall for 34 years. In addition to serving thousands of Aggies every day, he cooks turkeys for hundreds of local families every Thanksgiving.
A professor of history explains that most modern Thanksgiving traditions began in the mid-19th century, more than two centuries after the Pilgrims’ first harvest celebration.
