If you're not familiar with our Thanksgiving Holiday

In 1621, after a hard and devastating first year in the New World the Pilgrim's fall harvest was plentiful.

The Pilgrims had beaten the odds. They built homes in the wilderness, they raised enough crops to keep them alive during the long coming winter, and they were at peace with their Indian neighbors.

Their Governor, William Bradford, proclaimed a day of thanksgiving that was to be shared by all the colonists and the neighboring Native American Indians.

The custom of an annually celebrated thanksgiving, held after the harvest, continued through the years. During the American Revolution (late 1770's) a day of national thanksgiving was suggested by the Continental Congress.


Basically now it's a time to gather with family and friends for feasting and fun. Some also look at it as a day to give thanks for their blessings
