Introduction
Thanksgiving is a time to gather with family, friends and loved ones. It’s also a time to give thanks for what we have in our lives and the bounty that our country has to offer. In fact, Thanksgiving is such a big deal that it’s celebrated throughout the United States but not every state observes it on exactly the same day.
Thanksgiving is a festival which commemorates the first harvest feast of the settlers in Plymouth, MA.
Thanksgiving is a festival which commemorates the first harvest feast of the settlers in Plymouth, MA. It’s celebrated in the USA and other countries as well. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. The first thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 to give thanks for their survival after they arrived at Plymouth Rock.
The Puritans were English men and women who fled persecution by King James I of England.
The Puritans were a group of English Protestants who wanted to reform the Anglican Church. In the early 1600s, King James I began persecuting them because he disagreed with their religious beliefs, such as their desire to abolish bishops and the practice of kneeling in church. The Puritans fled England for Holland, then later moved on to Massachusetts Bay Colony (now present-day Boston).
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 with 90 Native Americans joining 102 Pilgrims for three days of feasting.
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 with 90 Native Americans joining 102 Pilgrims for three days of feasting. The celebration was held to thank God for the harvest and good fortune they had experienced.
The Pilgrims were English settlers who had arrived in the New World only months before, arriving on December 21, 1620 on board the Mayflower. They fled persecution by King James I of England (who ruled from 1603-1625) because they believed that they should be able to worship as they saw fit without interference from the government or church authorities.
The Pilgrims sailed from England to Holland aboard two ships: Speedwell and Mayflower; however, Speedwell proved unseaworthy so it returned to Plymouth Harbor just days later. The surviving passengers disembarked onto smaller boats called shallops and made their way safely back to land where they began construction of a settlement called Plimoth Plantation (now known as Plymouth Colony).
Thanksgiving is when we give thanks for our bounty.
Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks for the things we are thankful for. It is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday of November, and it’s also a time to gather with family and friends, eat delicious food, and have fun!
There are many foods that are traditionally served during Thanksgiving. These include turkey (of course), mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, cornbread dressing or dumplings (depending on where you’re from), green beans or broccoli casserole (made with melted marshmallows!), biscuits/scones (or both!)—and pumpkin pie! The pumpkin pie was popularized in America by Sarah Josepha Hale who wrote letters begging women everywhere to bake this special treat into their homes each Thanksgiving Day. There’s even more room for creativity too; some families like to use sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes; others might try something new like roasted brussels sprouts or potato salad!
Conclusion
Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for all the good things that we have in our lives. It’s also a time when we can reflect on the difficulties and challenges that we face throughout life. When you think about it, Thanksgiving is really just a day like any other—except it comes once a year! Yet, this special day has come to symbolize so much more than just an annual celebration. As Americans, we are very grateful for our nation’s rich history and traditions like this one which remind us of what makes our country so unique among nations around world (if not universe).
