Thanksgiving Day &
Thanksgiving
For a lot of people Thanksgiving Day is having a party,
football games, family reunions, etc... The first thanksgiving wasn’t a party
nor a holiday, but a simply gathering. Following the mayflower’s arrival at
Plymouth Rock on December 11th, 1620, the Pilgrims suffered the loss
of 46 of their original 102 colonists. 91 Indians helped the Pilgrims survive
the winter, lasting three days the pilgrims and the Indians united in a
thanksgiving observance. There are many traditions that their own meaning of
thanks giving. Some say it an expression of gratitude, submissions of the local
natives, a council’s recognition of its community, the defeat over the British,
resulting in a collection of our nation’s traditions and values.
