Giving
Thanks
" What we know today as Thanksgiving Day originated when the
colonists had an abundant harvest thanks in part to the Native American
Wampanoag tribe. In a religious ceremony that lasted a couple of days in 1621, the
pilgrims shared a feast of thanksgiving with their new Native American friends.
Today, Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated on
the 4th Thursday in November.
Thanksgiving is
a day of feast, which is celebrated with friends and family, to give
thanks for our “abundance” or blessings of those things and people
important to us.
Traditional
foods such as turkey, cranberries, green bean casseroles, vegetables, and an
assortment of baked goods will make their way to our homes.
It is also
a day of watching parades, and football games; things to do with loved ones,
while enjoying time away from school and work."
