Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in America is based on the story of the Pilgrims who came to Plymouth Massachusetts in the Autumn of 1620 and didn't have enough food to sustain them. The tradition comes from the charity offered by Native Americans who fed the hungry settlers. Later, Thanksgiving became a national holiday, the 4th Thursday in November. Generally a family meal of turkey and a variety of other foods is the center of the celebration and everyone gives thanks for what they have.
