Thanksgiving was started by the Pilgrims, a group of English citizens who, tired of the cold British winters, packed up and moved to Massachusetts. (Sadly, these British Pilgrims were not very bright.) They gave this strange land place names that would remind them of the home they had left behind, names like "New Englandicon," or "New Bedford".
Stupidly enough, I'm named after one of those Pilgrims, an ancestor on my mother's side.

As far as staining goes, go easy and let each coat dry before added more colour. (Usually the BLOicon will remove a wee bit.)
