Thanksgiving

 Thanksgiving Day took place in autumn of 1621, where the Europeans (The Pilgrims) came to America, they were ill and hungry. Most of them died in the first year. But the natives Americans (Indians) helped and showed them how to grow corn.

 The Pilgrims were very thankful and made a big dinner to give thanks for the first food that they had

 grown themselves. Since that experience, the Americans families have celebrated Thanksgiving Day on the fourth Thursday in November every year.



 Thanksgiving Day was originality related to Christianity, but today it is a holiday for American families and friends to get together for a special meal. The meal often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie, and vegetables.

 Thanksgiving Day is a time for many people to give thanks for what they have.

 Some people have a four day weekend, so it is a po pular time for trips and to visit family and friends.

 Thanksgiving is a harvest festival, a traditional day in American families; before they have the Thanksgiving meal they pray a short prayer and thank God for the year’s blessing, like the American president on this day emits a proclamation of Thanksgiving to God.
