Thanksgiving and its History

Thanksgiving is a holiday is a celebrated across the U.S., but did you know that when it was first celebrated in 1621 that the Plymouth colonist didn’t celebrate it year after year like how it is now. Let me give you a little summary of how Thanksgiving became a national holiday. In 1621 the Plymouth colonist who settled here from England were looking to sail to freedom to practice their own faith began to settle to the “New World”. The colonist first celebrated Thanksgiving to reward themselves of a successful harvest they grew and with that they invited the local Wampanoag Indians to celebrate their achievements with a three day long feast that included eating, hunting, and entertainment.
