THANKSGIVING DAY

           It is held the fourth Thursday in November. When people think of Thanksgiving Day, most remember the story of the Pilgrims who arrived on the Mayflower in December 11, 1620. Most of them died.

          They had a traditional British Harvest Feast in thanks to God for surviving and blessing of provisions thet would see then through the Winter. They actually had more meat than vegetables, including venison, fish and wildfowl, which may or may not have actually been turkey. They probably didn't heve much in the way of desserts, as they didn't have a lot of flour or sugar on hand. They probably had some fruits and corn. Instead of pumpkin pie, the probably had boiled pumpkin. The first Thanksgiving Feast lasted for three days.
