Question

I don't know! do you? It is a fun holiday, but I don't know what it is fore!

Answer 1

In the USA, Thanksgiving is the day we give thanks for the bounty of the harvest. It's a time for family to gather and give thanks for all that the land provides us in the way of food.

Answer 2

Following a nineteenth century tradition, most Americans believe that the first American Thanksgiving was a feast that took place on an unremembered date, sometime in the autumn of 1621, at Plymouth Plantation, Massachusetts. In 1620, a group led by separatists from the Church of England, who were heading for Virginia, instead landed at modern-day Plymouth, Massachusetts, for uncertain reasons. In the autumn of 1621, they celebrated a three-day harvest feast with the native Wampanoag people, without whom they would not have survived the winter of 1620. This event was not viewed as a thanksgiving celebration at the time; the colony would not have a Thanksgiving observance until 1623 — and that was a religious observance rather than a feast.

Answer 3

Thanksgiving represents the first fall (harvest season) following the arrival of the pilgrims from England to the new land (currently USA). Giving thanks for having survived, they had a feast (and theoretically invited some natives to join them, in thanks for their assistance). We celebrate it today partly to remember the struggle of our ancestors, and to remember (at least one day of the year) to be thankful for the things we have.
