The Thanksgiving Story: A Time to be Thankful
Every year, on the fourth Thursday of November, we celebrate Thanksgiving. It s a special time to say thank you for all the good things in our lives. Long ago, the first Thanksgiving was held by the Pilgrims. They had a big feast to celebrate the end of the harvest. They invited the Wampanoag Indians who helped them grow crops. Today, families gather at home to celebrate Thanksgiving. They cook and eat a big meal. Turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie are often on the menu. Thanksgiving is also a time to be thankful. We should remember to be thankful for what we have – our family, friends, and the food we eat. Remember, Thanksgiving is not just about the food. It s about spending time with those we love and thanking for what we have.
