Thanksgiving Day comes on the 4th Thursday in November. This holiday is celebrated throughout the United States.
The holiday began as a feast of Thanksgiving in the early days of American colonies almost four hundred years ago.
In 1620, the Mayflower, a boat with 102 men, women and children on board, sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to settle the New World. In their native land, in England, this religious group had not been allowed to freely practice their religion. So they went to America in search of religious freedom.
The Pilgrims settled in what is now the state Massachusetts. Their first winter was very hard. They arrived too late to grow many crops; and without fresh food, half the colony died of cold, hunger, and diseases. The following spring the Indians of Massasoit’s tribe taught the Pilgrims how to grow corn a new food for the colonists. They showed them other crops to grow in the unfamiliar soil and how to fish and hunt.
In the autumn of 1621, rich crops, barely and pumpkins were harvested. The colonists had much to be thankful for, so a feast was planned. The Chief Massasoit and his braves were invited to share the Thanksgiving feast.
Thanksgiving became a national holiday many years later because of a woman named Sarah Hale. For forty years Sarah Hale wrote to each president and asked for a holiday of Thanksgiving. At last she was successful. In 1863, President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a holiday.
Thanksgiving is a time for a family reunion. All give thanks together for the good things they have. On most tables throughout the US, foods eaten at the first Thanksgiving have become traditional. Roast turkey with stuffing is the main dish. It is served with sweet potatoes, squash, cranberry sauce or jelly, and pumpkin pie. Apple cider is the drink of the day.
Football is the most popular game on this day. For many schools, the Thanksgiving Day game is the most important game of the year. Usually there are several football games to watch on TV. Thanksgiving Parade is held annually in New York City. Celebrities, floats, bands, and balloons shaped like famous storybook and cartoon characters appear in the Parade. Santa Claus arrives at the end. His coming marks the beginning of the Christmas season.
Stores, classrooms and homes are decorated with turkeys, pilgrims, Indians, wreaths of dried flowers, and vegetables. Horns of plenty are also very popular.
