🦃✨ The Turkey Pardoning Tradition: A Presidential Moment of Gratitude ✨🦃 Every year, the President of the United States pardons a turkey, sparing it from the Thanksgiving dinner table. This fun tradition, now a staple at the White House, is all about celebrating mercy, humor, and the holiday spirit. While turkey remains the main dish for most American families on Thanksgiving, this special bird gets a second chance, living out the rest of its days on a farm instead of a plate. The tradition officially kicked off in 1989 with President George H. W. Bush, and it’s been carried on by every president since. Let’s be thankful for the moments that make the holiday season special! 🧡 #HappyThanksgiving #WhiteHouseHistory
