This atrocity is not only allowed, but it is also encouraged and celebrated.

The Thanksgiving Story The American Thanksgiving event has been in existance for more than three centuries now. The event was first organized by a group of religious leaders who had traveled from Plymouth, England in such of a free land where they could worship freely. During winter, many colonists on board lost their lives due to the outbreak of strange illnesses. Half of the crew survived to see the spring.
