A holiday i s coming up and it's Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is on November 24th. Thanksgiving originated from the Pilgrims’ three-day feast celebrated in early November of 1621.The first Thanksgiving to God … in Plymouth Colony was actually celebrated during the summer of 1623, when the colonists declared a Thanksgiving holiday after their crops were saved by much-needed rainfall. After 1815…there were no further annual proclamations of Thanksgiving until the Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln declared November 26, 1863, the last Thursday in November, a Day of Thanksgiving. Then Roosevelt signed a resolution returning Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday of November, as Congress in 1941 permanently set the fourth Thursday of each November as our national day of Thanksgiving. Now Thanksgiving is a well known holiday. On Thanksgiving you have a big meal and all of your family attends. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because you get to eat lots of food and spend time with your family. It's a day to especially give thanks for what you have.
