that winter, they
suffered extreme
hunger and cold,
and only 50 settlers
survived. At that time, kind-
hearted Indians sent

them how to hunt, to
catch fish, to plant
corn and the

2. We have celebrated the festival since
the first pioneers from England arrived in

taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The
following year they celebrated Together by
eating a dinner of the new food.
We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with
a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the
most crowded room in our house because we
all help prepare the food. We lay the table,
and then before we begin dinner, my father
gives thanks for the food, so we remember
why we celebrate the festival.We usually eat too much, but it is only once a
year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after
dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone
helps wash the dishes.

Parade, as it goes along several streets and
finishes at the famous Macy’s store.
