THANKS TO...
I'm grateful to my parents who protect me, for giving me security, love and affection. I'm also grateful to God because thanks to him I lack nothing, I also want to thank my siblings who give me happiness all the time.
THE FIRST THANKSGIVING DAY
In 1621, those Pilgrims did hold a three-day feast, which was attended by members of the Wampanoag tribe. However, typically, when these settlers had what they referred to as "thanksgiving" observances, they actually fasted. So this feast and celebration was known as a "rejoicing,"
he feasts lasted three days and, according to chronicler Edward Winslow, Bradford sent four men on a “fowling mission” to prepare for the feast and the Wampanoag guests brought five deer to the party. And ever since then, the story goes, Americans have celebrated Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November.
Both the Pilgrims and members of the Wampanoag tribe ate pumpkins and other squashes indigenous to New England—possibly even during the harvest festival—but the fledgling colony lacked the butter and wheat flour necessary for making pie crust. Moreover, settlers hadn't yet constructed an oven for baking.

Instead, the table was loaded with native fruits like plums, melons, grapes, and cranberries, plus local vegetables such as leeks, wild onions, beans, Jerusalem artichokes, and squash. (English crops such as turnips, cabbage, parsnips, onions, carrots, parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme might have also been on hand.

The English colonists we call Pilgrims celebrated days of thanksgiving as part of their religion. ... Our national holiday really stems from the feast held in the autumn of 1621 by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag to celebrate the colony's first successful harvest.

Thanksgiving Day, annual national holiday in the United States and Canada celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year. Americans generally believe that their Thanksgiving is modeled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people.
THINGS YOU MIGHT LIKE ABOUT THANKSGIVING DAY
The first thing I like about this celebration is the family union, to recognize and give thanks for the people and the good things they have in their lives.
Families usually gather around a table full of food where the main dish is the turkey. Thanksgiving is the most widely eaten holiday in the United States compared to any other day of the year, including Christmas.
