Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is celebrated the fourth Thursday of November. It is one that brings together families and friends to share, give thanks and enjoy typical foods of this party, such as turkey and pumpkin candy. The story goes that the first Thanksgiving in the United States was a three day celebration in the Plymouth Colony today is part of the state of Massachusetts in the year 1621.The settlers had arrived the previous year and did not have enough food and it was already late to sow crops. Half of the colony stayed during the winter of 1620-1621, in the spring, indigenous people in the area taught the settlers to plant corn and other crops, and helped them to hunt and fish. In the autumn of 1621, the colonists obtained excellent harvests and in gratitude, they invited the Indians to share a feast. The celebration of this harvest became a habitual activity.The day of thanksgiving was celebrated on different dates, until the year 1863 President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed that the last Thursday of November is being celebrated as a national holiday of Thanksgiving. Then, in 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt passed a law establishing the holiday date for the fourth Thursday of November.
