Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a Americain holiday inwhich we celebrate the event were the Native Americains gave the Pilgrims from England help. The Pilgrims came to America to escape religous prosecution in England, they left for America with little idea of what waited for them. They faced harsh weather, and they did not know how to cultivate the land. They were starving, and the Pilgrims feared that the harsh winter coming ahead would kill them all. The Native Amercains helped them by supplying them and teaching them how to survive in the harsh terrain.

On the last Thursday of November, we celebrate Thanksgiving with a large feast which includes traditional amercain foods, such as apple pie, pumkin, stuffing, and turkey. There are also parades and other celbrations. On this day we give thanks to all who have helped us and to the Native Amercains who helped the Pilgrims.
