I'd tell that pilgrims have as much to do with Thanksgiving as Jesus does Christmas and let her chew on that for a few days.

Bonus if she has no idea who Jesus is. I'd rest my case at that point.

Something similar happened here last night. Annie stood up and related to us the story of the pilgrims that she learned at school. Interestingly enough, at her school they apparently talked about how most of the pilgrims died.

We were always told that, too. I remember my teachers saying there weren't any stores and I couldn't picture it.
