What is Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is a time for thanks, and love. It is the day to be thankful for everything you have. It all started in 1621, at Plymouth. The pilgrims were celebrating their first harvest, and they had a three day feast. Whoa! Imagine having a three day feast! We all know that the native Americans joined the pilgrims in this festive celebration. They were specifically known as Wampanoag tribe. 90 Wampanoag people and 50 pilgrims attended. That is actually a big amount of people, back then. The pilgrims didn't actually call the vent in 1621, "Thanksgiving". Th day of Thanksgiving was actually very different for the colonists. It was actually a day to pray to God, but only when something really good happened. They actually had their first Thanksgiving in the summer of 1623, where they gave thanks for the rain that ended a long, dry drought.
So, what is Thanksgiving to you? I actually don't celebrate it with the big feast and everything. I only have a nice time with my family at home. To me, that is my Thanksgiving. The time where you are happiest. Give thanks for that moment. I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Parthi! This blog was nice and i liked how you explained about how you should be thankful. I also think that the way you celebrate Thanksgiving is nice, because i think that you dont have to have a big dinner to celebrate it. It just matters that you are with your family!bye!
