I AM THANKFUL BECAUSE I´VE GOT A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. WHAT ABOUT YOU? WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR? PLEASE, COMMENT!!!! ;-) Cristina.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THANKSGIVING
Long ago, people called Pilgrims left their home in England and came across the ocean to America in a boat called the Mayflower. They built their own houses, planted seeds they had brought with them, and made friends with the Indians, who were already living in America. The Indians taught them how to plant corn and hunt and fish for animals that they could eat. In the fall, when the corn was ready, the Pilgrims picked it. It was their first harvest, and when they had finished, they had a party to celebrate and give thanks that they had enough food to last through the winter. The party, called the First Thanksgiving, was held outside, and everyone came, including the Indians. Now every year we celebrate Thanksgiving to remember the brave Pilgrims and to give thanks for all of our blessings.
