Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in The United States and Canada. It is a day to give thanks for the harvest and blessings. It is celebrated on the 4^th Thursday of November in the United States of America and the 2^nd Monday of October in Canada. In 1621, it was the year there first harvest proved successful, Pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians gathered around to enjoy the first Thanksgiving. For about two centuries, only the colonies celebrated Thanksgiving until Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving to be held every November. Thanksgiving lasted about 3 days straight eating all that they had harvested. Because they didn’t have ovens or sugar their meals did not consist of pies, cakes, or other desserts

Reflection: I think that having Thanksgiving as a national holiday is a good thing because we can celebrate all the things we are thankful for and spend time with our families being happy together.
