Thanksgiving

History of Thanksgiving Feast

In 1620, a group of English people called the Pilgrims went to settle in North America. They were very religious people who set off to America in a ship called the Mayflower. They landed in a place they called Plymouth. Their first winter was harsh and many of them died due to cold and hunger. In the spring, the Pilgrims made friends with the Native Americans, who taught them to grow corn, beans and pumpkins. After their first harvest, the Pilgrims invited the Natives to a feast, which all of us remember as the Thanksgiving feast.

This year is the first time I am going to celebrate Thanksgiving. Every houses in the neighborhood really decorates their yard or their home with harvest theme to go with the season. As for the preparation of the dinner party we have later, Kevin's mom already decorated their house, so cute right?!
