In the United States the holidays of Halloween and Thanksgiving are bulwarks against the invasion of Christmas. Without them, Christmas would invade October, just like it has in Germany.
This is a painting of a dodo made by Cornelis Saftleven in 1638. I've always thought that dodo pictures didn't look like real birds. They look cartoonish and just bizarre. This looks like a real animal that actually existed. I don't quite understand why this picture isn't the one that we're shown.
