Today Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. But when and how did all start?
We have to go back in the early 1600's when the first settlers, called Pilgrims came to North America and established the first English colony 'Jamestown'. Pilgrims were grateful to the Native American, because he taught them how to survive in the New World. So, after their first harvest in 1621, pilgrims held an autumn celebration of food, feasting, and praising God.
Today is the day when all family members gather to celebrate and eat a lot. Turkey is the featured item in most Thanksgiving feasts, this is why Thanksgiving is sometimes referred to as 'Turkey Day'. Also guests often bring food items or help with the cooking as part of a communal meal.
