Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving day takes place on the fourth Thursday of November. It is celebrated on November 24. It is a holiday that is celebrated to give thanks, and for being thankful for everything. You thank god for giving you blessings. It originally started being celebrated as a federal holiday since 1863. It is nationally celebrated since 1789. The first thanksgiving ever was celebrated by the pilgrims, after their first harvest in 1621. Thanksgiving is also a harvest festival. For more than two centuries, thanksgiving has been celebrated. It started when the pilgrims landed and found the colony of New Plymouth. They had a difficult winter, but they managed to survive with the help of the Indians. The pilgrims held their first thanksgiving in 1621, and it was to thank the Indians for helping them. It has then became a tradition among millions of Americans to celebrate. To add on, thanksgiving is also celebrated in Canada. This shows us how thanksgiving day is a day where you are grateful for everything that you have. You should pray that you will always be blessed, and that all your loved one will always be safe and healthy. Last but not least, you should be thankful for having life.
