The origins of Thanksgiving go back to the early times of European settlers who settled America. The official beginnings of the Thanksgiving celebration date back to 1621 when English settlers in the Plymouth Settlement, Massachusetts, held a feast to celebrate a successful harvest. They were celebrating with thanks for the help given by the Native American Indians and for the success they had in the fields.
Then, English travelers William Bradford and Edward Winslow wrote to England about this event, which contributed to the popularization of this celebration. Over time, Thanksgiving became an annual tradition widely celebrated by citizens.
Thanksgiving customs have evolved over the years to include a traditional dinner, where food typically includes turkey, cranberry sauce, bagel stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, and pumpkin pie. Thanksgiving is celebrated in the United States on November 4th, and in Canada on October 2nd.
In general, Thanksgiving is an opportunity for families and friends to gather and celebrate life and the blessings they receive, and it promotes family values and social connectedness.
