Not every president was into harvests and community and pumpkin pie. Which American president called Thanksgiving "the most ridiculous idea"?
Answer Thomas Jefferson
While George Washington and John Adams both issued proclamations establishing Thanksgiving, Jefferson said, "Thanks, but no thanks." In those days, the holiday was associated with religion, and Jefferson was all about keeping church and state separate.
