Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November. On thanksgiving day people eat turkey and other type of foods like mashed potato's bread, and etcetera. Thanksgiving day should be remembered not just as a day when we give thanks for our abundance, but more deeply and historically why we have this abundance. Thanksgiving day is celebrated in many different ways. You can celebrate thanks giving by being with your family, going to a football game, or go to any other place with family. This is a very important holiday because you are celebrating what you are thankful for in life. You can let the people you are thankful for know that you appreciate them. Not only on this day you can do that, but this is when the first thanksgiving happened. You should be tankful for many things in life because without those things you wouldn't be whee you are at now. Thanksgiving is a holiday you should not miss.
