Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November.
The Pilgrims were some of the first people who emigrated from England to North America in a ship called the Mayflower in 1620. After a hard trip, they arrived and found a place to stay on the east coast, today Plymouth, Massachussetts.
Their first year was difficult and dangerous, but they survived with the help of the Native Americans ( the Indians), who told them how to grow plants and animals. To thank God and the Native Americans, the settlers invited them to a feast and these gave the settlers turkey, duck, fish , berries and cornbread.
Today Thanksgiving is a four-day holiday to have a special meal together. The meal includes turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.
