Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving? Empty Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving?

The following is from Wikipedia:
"El Día de Acción de Gracias es una tradicional celebración de la norteamérica anglosajona. En los Estados Unidos se celebra el cuarto jueves del mes de noviembre, aunque originalmente se hacía el último jueves. En Canadá, por su parte, se celebra el segundo lunes de octubre. Constituye regularmente una gran festejo familiar, en la cual las personas se reúnen con sus parientes en torno a la mesa, realizando celebraciones tradicionales.
El Día de Acción de Gracias es la fiesta nacional por excelencia en Estados Unidos, el equivalente a las fiestas anuales que se celebran una vez concluida la cosecha en otros países. Es considerado un tiempo de reflexión sobre las bendiciones recibidas. Aunque no es propiamente una fiesta religiosa, para muchos estadounidenses es una confirmación de su fe en Dios, al igual que una oportunidad para darle gracias al Creador por las bendiciones del año previo."
Tell why we celebrate Thanksgiving in the U.S. Do you and your family celebrate Thanksgiving? How will you spend Thanksgiving this year?

I think we celebrate thanksgivig to thanks god for the all the good
harvest the workers colect and to do something with the family like be
together and go somewhere together.
I do not know what I am going to do this thanksgiving day but one
thing that I have in mind is to be with my family the whole day, and we
do celebrate thanksgiving like all the people in the United States
I like thanksgiving because is the day I can eat at any timebecause
there is food the whole day.

Thanksgiving day in america is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holiday meals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A Indian corn, holiday paredes and giant balloons.
So here for your entertainment are some fun Holiday things for you and your family.

The History of Thanksgiving

Ever wonder what the pilgrims and their Native American guests really ate at the first feast? The truth may surprise you. Contrary to popular belief, they didn't sit down to a meal featuring turkey, corn, cranberries, and pumpkin pie (in fact, they didn't even have forks!).

Travel back to Plymouth and discover some of the humble origins of Thanksgiving traditions we celebrate today and what the original celebration was actually like! . I Like thanksgiving that why i celebrate with my mother every eyar's.When i do that is so good because i by so happy.Ilike thanksgiving..................

My Name is Isabel R.

Thanksgiving is the time of year where we pause to give thanks to the many people and blessings that enrich our lives. On this special day, if you are not able to be with your loved ones, then send them one of our delicious Thanksgiving gift baskets or Thanksgiving Gift Bouquets to let them know that they are being thought of.

Thanksgiving day in American is time to offer thanks, of family gatherings
and holiday meals. A time of turkeys, stuffing,and punpkin pie. a time for Indian corn, Holiday parades and giant balloons .

Do you and your family celebrate Thanksgiving? ]

On Thanksgiving, families and friends gather for a reunion, a day of thanks, and a festive meal. Some people attend a religious service on the eve before or day of Thanksgiving.

The Thanksgiving dinner is usually served during the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day. Often guests bring food items or help with cooking in the kitchen as part of a happy, communal meal. When the family and guests come to the table to eat, a grace to thank God is said before partaking of the meal. In keeping with the holiday theme of giving thanks, during the socializing or the meal, people talk about what they are thankful for or tell about experiences during the past year which have caused them to feel grateful.At Thanksgiving time, people appreciate the bountiful food of the harvest season, share food with guests, and donate food to charities.

HAVE A GREAT DAY. AND HAVE A NICE THANKSGIVIN.

Why thanksgivin is special to me because I'm with my family. My Mom's friend makes delicious desserts.
Thanksgiving is special to me because my whole family eats dinner together. I get to play with my cousins. After I play with my cousins we eat dinner. We have turkey, cranberries and ham. I like having Thanksgiving with my family.
I like Thanksgiving because I have a big meal. I love watching the parade. I like watching the balloons go down the street on television. I love turkey and mashed potatoes.This Thanksgiving I am going to see my friend who is pregnant.I think of a nice big Thanksgiving dinner with a big turkey and lot of rice, corn, apple pie, stuffing, and gravy. My favorite of all is an ice-cream Sunday with hot fudge, sprinkles, and a cherry on top.

Thanksgiving Day!!!
