Who is Sarah and why are we thanking her? She is Sarah Hale and not only did she write the poem "Mary Had a Little Lamb", she also wrote to politicians for years then five different presidents(!) until she finally convinced Abraham Lincoln to make Thanksgiving a national holiday.
Thank you, Sarah, for being an example of perseverance... and for the turkey and the pumpkin pie!
