Thanksgiving is a national holiday in the USA. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. On this day, Americans give thanks for the good things in their lives. Everything started in 1620, when some English people left their country, England, on a ship called the Mayflower. Their trip took 66 days and was very difficult. They landed near Plymouth Rock in America and they started to build their homes there.
During the first winter, many people died because they hadn t got enough food to eat. In the spring of 1621, these English people became friends with the Native Americans. The Native Americans taught them how to plant crops and how to hunt. In 1621, the harvest (收获) was very good. These English people were very thankful. So they invited their Native American friends to a feast (盛宴). The feast lasted for three days. The main dishes included corn, pumpkins, fish and turkey.
Today Thanksgiving is still a day to be thankful to family, friends and for good food. Families gather around the table and enjoy a traditional dinner of roast turkey with sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie for dessert. On this day many Americans watch football matches.
