In 1620, the Mayflower landed in what is now Prestown, Massachusetts, carrying about 100 English Pilgrims, both adults and children, and the winter of that year had left them with only 50 people alive in the spring. When spring came, with the help of the Indians, there was a good harvest. In gratitude to God and the Indians, the Puritans held an annual thanksgiving celebration by firing a cannon salute at dawn, marching into the church and lighting a fire for a feast.
In 1789, Washington** declared Thursday, November 26 as Thanksgiving Day, to encourage Americans to carry forward the spirit of ancestral gratitude, and it became an official American holiday. Later, in 1863, Lincoln, the United States, declared the last Thursday of November as a Thanksgiving holiday; The date of Thanksgiving was changed several times until 1941, when Congress passed and began to change back to the fourth Thursday of November every year. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U.S. and Canada, but not on the same day.
This year's (2001) Thanksgiving Day is November 22 in the United States. Canada is October 8.
In addition to preparing a hearty meal, every family will also prepare some Thanksgiving decorations, such as small pumpkins and colorful corn, which are very suitable decorations for the occasion. Many families go to church on the morning of Thanksgiving, then return home and enjoy a hearty turkey meal at noon or in the afternoon.
