History:

Thanksgiving day was first mentioned in 1621, the Plymouth colonists and the ` Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as the first thanksgiving. It wasn’t until 1863 that President Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving day to be held each November.

Reflection:

I believe having a holiday for thanksgiving has been a big achievement, there are times where we need a time off of work or school and just be with the people we care about and be thankful for them. There are certain people that are so valuable in our lives that there aren't any words to describe how thankful we are for them. They have helped us achieve our goals and put us on right paths and been with us since day 1. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays there is a big feast and big conversations and life is just good during fall. I am indeed thankful for the food especially the pumpkin pie.
