Thanksgiving is one of the most popular holidays in the United States of America. Traditionally, Thanksgiving is a holiday that Americans spend together with their families and enjoy a Thanksgiving meal - the traditional Thanksgiving turkey and some vegetables.
In 1620 a group of people from England came to North America. They wanted to pray to their God, but the King of England controlled them. They didn't have religious freedom in England, so they came to Plymouth to be free to have their own religion. They came on the ship called "The Mayflower".
Life was difficult in Plymouth. People were sick and hungry. Many of them died. They worked hard. The Native Americans or Indians helped them a lot. They gave the Pilgrims food, showed them how to hunt wild animals and plant food like corn.
Finally, they had enough to eat. In the fall of the next year they had a good crop of different vegetables. To celebrate a good harvest they cooked a large meal and shared it with Indians. They wanted to give thanks for their food. That was the first Thanksgiving Day.
Today people in the United States celebrate Thanksgiving Day. It is always on the fourth Thursday in November. On this day families come together to eat the traditional food of the Pilgrims and the Indians. They eat a lot and talk. They give thanks for their health, their families and friends.
