Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a very important American festivity and it is celebrated on the last Thursday of November.

However, schools and many shops and offices are closed for four days: Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Americans travel great distances to be with their families on this occasion. Why is Thanksgiving such an important day?

The tradition started with the Pilgrims, the founders of America.

The Pilgrims left Great Britain in 1620.

They wanted to start a new life in America .

One hundred men, women and children left Britain on a small ship called the Mayflower.

They arrived on the north-east coast of North America in December 1620 and founded Plymouth.

It was winter and they had no homes and little food.

They built small homes, But it was too late to cultivate crops.

The winter was very cold and harsh. Their living conditions were very bad. The friendly Wampanoag Indians helped them during the long winter.

In the spring the Pilgrims met an Indian called Squanto. He explained how to grow corn, hunt and live in the wilderness.

Soon the Pilgrims and the Indians became good friends.

The Pilgrims worked hard . By November 1621 everyone had food and a home. There was hope for the future.

The Pilgrim leader, decided to celebrate with a dinner for the Pilgrims and the

Indians.

He wanted to give thanks to God.

This was the first Thanksgiving dinner and it lasted for three days. Today the traditional Thanksgiving meal is similar to the first.

People eatroast turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. Let's pregnant with a grateful heart。

Thank all who helped us。
