Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day is an important American holiday.According to tradition，the first American Thanksgiving Day was celebrated in 1621 in Plymouth，now in the state of Massachusetts.In 1863，during the American Civil War，President Abraham Lincoln named the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day.Now it is a national holiday in America.
The holiday is usually connected with the Pilgrims.They were a group of people who wanted to escape from religious persecution in England.On September 16，1620，they got on board a ship named the Mayflower.The ship sailed from England and carried the Pilgrims across the ocean.The ocean was stormy.On many days，the passengers had to stay below in their cold，crowded quarters.Many people became sick and died.A baby was born during the trip.
On 21st November，after 66 days at sea，the Mayflower reached the continent.The Pilgrims began to settle down there.But their first winter in the new country was very difficult.However，the Indians gave them gifts and offered help.They taught the new settlers how to hunt and fish and plant their crops.
The next year there was an abundant harvest.People were so happy that they prepared a big feast in the fall of 1621.They invited their Indian friends as guests.For three days running the Pilgrims and Indians feasted together around outdoor tables piled high with food.This was considered to be the first Thanksgiving Day in America.
