Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving day is a public holiday that is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Thanksgiving has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, after a proclamation by George Washington. The event that Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in 1621. This feast lasted three days, and—as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow. It was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. After that day Thanksgiving wouldn't become a a national holiday until 200 years later. In my opinion Thanksgiving is a holiday where you can spend time with your family and talk about what your thankful for. These are 12 things i am thankful for:
- Family
- Home
- Food
- Education
- Health
- Time
- Love
- Waking up Today
- Friends
- Mistakes
- Religion
- Life
