last week at school we were talking about the history of thanksgiving. So now I will tell you the story.
In fall of 1620 a ship, called mayflower, had an accident near the american coast. The ship with 120 passengers crashed with a rock, so they had to settle down throughout the winter. The pilgrims didn't know how to grow fruits and vegetables and how to hunt, so they were very hungry. In spring the pilgrims met a native american, who learned them how to grow and hunt. After this the pilgrims organized a meal as thanks for the help of the american. This meal was tasting so good that they decided to organize this every year on the last thursday of november. Now in the USA this day is an official holiday and the traditional food at the evening of Thanksgiving is a Turkey.
A new tradition in the USA is to go shopping on friday after Thanksgiving. This special day is called "black friday" and there are a lot of discount in the stores all over the world. Some crazy people sleep in front of stores to be first in and get the cheepest articles.
So what are you thinking about Thanksgiving and what's your experiences?
I hope you got some new information about Thanksgiving.
See you!
See you!
