Few printed poems from the 1800s have become as closely tied to a holiday as this one, whose sleigh ride to grandmother's house now defines Thanksgiving for many people. Lydia Maria Child wrote it in 1844 under the title "A Boy's Thanksgiving Day" for a children's book, and later reprints and musical settings gave it the familiar "Over the river and through the woods" refrain. Its snowy journey to a crowded farmhouse full of relatives and pie reflects the rural New England family life of the period, and it still shapes how many people picture the day.
