Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States. It started a long time ago, in 1621, when the Pilgrims and the Native Americans shared a big meal to celebrate the good harvest. They wanted to thank God for the food and the new friends they had made.

Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Families and friends get together to eat a big meal with turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, and pumpkin pie. People also watch parades and football games on TV.
