Thanksgiving is a time for feasting and indulging in delicious foods, particularly the iconic turkey. But, this traditional centerpiece on almost every Michigan Thanksgiving table generally gets a bad rap this time of year. Many people may experience a post-meal drowsiness that's also known as the 'turkey coma'.

While it seems that Michigan would be celebrating Thanksgiving with the rest of Americans across the country, that wasn't always the case.

And the reason why we got our late start to the Thanksgiving table is a surprising one.
