In 1621 the Plymouth Colonists and Native Americans shared an Autumn Harvest Feast which has become known as the first Thanksgiving in America. From that time on families through out the states celebrated a day of Thanksgiving every year. A National Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Now we celebrate November 24th as Thanksgiving.
One of our many taditions during Thanksgiving is to tell all of our Family and Friends how thankful we are for them. We try to let each of the people who are important in our lives know exactly what they mean to us.

Anytime our family gets together to Celebrate an occaion we like to help get everyone into a festive mood by decorating the house with objects for that special event. Thanksgiving is no different.
When it comes to holidays we remember the TV families that many of us grew up with. The memories of what their Thanksgivings were like brings a smile to our faces. It would be nice if we could all have a Great Thanksgiving.
In 1963 President Kennedy gave a Presidential Pardon to the White House Turkey. It became a tradition for the President to Pardon the Turkey but in 1989 President Bush made it official.
The main event for Thanksgiving is the Feast! We always had Turkey and all the trimmings that went with it.
Remember November is American Indian Heritage month
