What is Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving (or Thanksgiving Day) is a holiday that is celebrated both in Canada and in the U.S.A. It has been a holiday in many places since 1957 and in all of the American States since 1863. In Canada it is celebrated the second Monday in October, while in the U.S. it is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. No one is sure exactly when this holiday was celebrated, but many Americans think it was in 1621 in a small group of people from England. It was celebrated because of some of the Native American people (in North America) taught them how to catch fish and grow crops. This man's name was Squanto. The Pilgrims were very thankful for this help. More Pilgrims might have died from hunger if they had not had this assistance for three days and it included fifty English men, nearly ninety Native Americans. Moreover, Thanksgiving became really popular in the United States until it finally became a national holiday. In Canada and the U.S., turkey is the main part of the traditional Thanksgiving meal.
Other foods commonly eaten include stuffing and mashed potatoes with gravy, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. According to Wikipedia, "Americans eat more turkey on Thanksgiving than on any other day of the year.”
