Thanksgiving Feast(Excerpt)

Thanksgiving should be viewed as a verb not a noun, and what better way to give thanks than to help somebody out that you know is struggling right now?
------Jim White

In sixteen twenty-one, a big celebration took place at Plymouth Colony in what is now the state of Massachusetts. European settlers known as the Pilgrims were celebrating their autumn harvest after a winter of struggle.




Other colonists held earlier ceremonies of thanks. But the Pilgrims' three-day feast is often called the nation's first Thanksgiving. President Abraham Lincoln declared a national holiday in eighteen sixty-three during the Civil War.

Today families and friends gather on the fourth Thursday in November. The main dish is traditionally a turkey. Popular side dishes include cranberries and sweet potatoes. People often finish the meal with pumpkin pie.
