"Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go ..."

An interesting piece about the author of the poem - Lydia Marie Child:

There is an awful lot of music associated with the Christmas holiday. But when it comes to Thanksgiving…not so much. If you’re anything like me, the one song you grew up singing on this holiday was “Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother’s house we go.” But until this week, I never knew anything about the origins of that song.

It comes from a poem written in 1844 by a woman named Lydia Marie Child.

Have a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving, everyone.

Cheers,
Scott.
