What is Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is a holiday that is traditionally celebrated in the United States and Canada. It is a time to give thanks for the harvest and for all of the blessings in our lives. Thanksgiving is typically celebrated with a large meal, usually including turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.
When is Thanksgiving?
In the United States, Thanksgiving is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October.
History of Thanksgiving
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621. The Pilgrims were a group of English Puritans who had come to America in search of religious freedom. After a difficult journey, they finally arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The winter was harsh, and many of the Pilgrims died from cold and disease.
The following spring, the Pilgrims met a Native American named Squanto, who taught them how to plant crops. With Squanto’s help, the Pilgrims had a successful harvest. They decided to celebrate with a feast and invited the local Native Americans to join them. This is how the first Thanksgiving came to be.
