😊 Meaning of Thanksgiving 😊

Do you know what the true meaning behind Thanksgiving is? Some people think that it's about just hanging out with family and eating food. Perhaps this isn’t the real reason why we spend time eating with family and friends. Thanksgiving is a holiday that we can celebrate that is truly about appreciating and being thankful for what we have. 

The first people to create Thanksgiving were the English Plymouth colonists and the Native American Wampanoage People in 1621. They shared an autumn harvest feast that is well known as the first Thanksgiving dinner. For over 20 years the Thanksgiving days had been celebrated by individual colonies and states. 

The United States and Canada are the main two countries that celebrate Thanksgiving. This holiday is about celebrating blessings from the past year or years. We appreciate this holiday by gathering with family and friends with loads of food and joyful attitudes just to acknowledge things that we are thankful for. Have a good break and stay thankful!
