Thank you for all of YOU, YOU, YOU.

Thanksgiving Day is a holiday in the US on the fourth Thursday of November.

First thanksgiving: 
 The Pilgrims  from England - landed in Plymouth. It was December 11, 1620. The cold winter had set in. The land was strange to them, and nothing seemed familiar. The winter was long, cold, and very hard for the Pilgrims.
 
Luckily, Native Americans helped by supplying them with seeds and food, teaching them about their new home, and giving them the skills needed to survive in a strange, new land.The first year in their new home was hard for the Pilgrims. Many died. With seeds and plants received from the Native Americans, the Pilgrims planted crops.
 
The fall harvest was a good one. To celebrate their good fortune, the Pilgrims had a feast of thanksgiving.Many foods were cooked for the feast - wild turkey, duck, and venison were probably served, along with fish, pumpkins, squash, corn, sweet potatoes, and cranberries.   Captain Miles Standish, the leader of the Pilgrims invited all of the Native Americans who had helped them so much during their first year. Everyone had a good day of thanksgiving. The feast lasted for three days! (quoted from ivillage)



Nowadays, Families and friends gather together and have a special meal together on thanksgiving day. Also, it is a day for people to give thanks for everything that they are grateful for.

Especially, all animals and plants on the Earth. I cannot live without them.
