Originating from a feast between the Wampanoug tribe and the settlers of Plymouth, Thanksgiving has been a staple in American history. Beginning in 1621, it became an official holiday thanks to Abraham Lincoln.
Taking place in the fall, it started out as a three-day event. Now, families and friends congregate to celebrate one another. They take the time to give thanks and be grateful for their blessings.
For the Chicago Cubs, this could be one of the best Thanksgivings of the decade. Earning the top NL Wild Card in the 2025 MLB Playoffs, Chicago ended a four-year playoff drought. The previous postseason appearance, in 2020, saw the Cubs get bounced early in the first round.
