Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving takes place on the fourth Thursday of November. The first Thanksgiving was held on top of a large rock. They got to it by the first Native American driving the Plymouth into the middle of the festivity. The autumn harvest festival (Thanksgiving) featured food such as turkey, giblets, lettuce mashed potato, and lots more. The  thanksgiving was the first gathering amongst pilgrims. The Thanksgiving history was a time for overeating, dancing, and drinking. The day they had the harvest festival the pilgrims and the Native Americans played games such as rugby,Native American soccer, badminton, and jarts. All the thirteen colonies did not celebrate Thanksgiving on the same day until the year of 1777. The first thanksgiving was in the year of 1621. George Washington was the first person who declared the holiday and that was in the year of 1789. During the Civil War Abraham Lincoln was looking for ways to unite the nation and he gave the Thanksgiving Proclamation in the year 1863 on the last Thursday of November.

! I’m lucky enough to have a family, some people don’t have anyone, not a mom, dad, sister, brother, aunt ,uncle, and grandparents, but i have a family that cares about me. Thanks for the clothes i have. Food my mom makes, all the time. The reasons I thank you for everything is because you deserve it. All your hard work payed off. There’s many other things sitting in my mind and I can’t let it out I would probably have  to write a book to express that. Thanks to everyone reading this you really helped and cared for us!
