The Philadelphia department store, Gimbel\u2019s, sponsored the first in 1920. However, the Macy\u2019s parade was launched four years later, and soon became a Thanksgiving tradition when it was made even more popular by the movie \u201cMiracle on 34th Street\u201d which was released in 1947.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: small\">Domesticated turkeys are slow birds that can\u2019t fly. Wild turkeys are smaller, more agile, much faster, and can fly short distances.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: small\">Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to his daughter suggesting that the wild turkey would be a more appropriate national symbol for the United States than the bald eagle, as it was more respectable, a true origin of native America, and a bird of courage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: small\">In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the short, jerky movements of turkeys inspired a ballroom dance called the Turkey Trot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: small\">Native Americans used cranberries, now a staple Thanksgiving dish, for cooking as well as medicinal purposes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<address><strong> <span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: small\">Pretty cool facts, huh?
