Thanksgiving Day   Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U.S. on the fourth Thursday of November and on the second Monday of October in Canada. First, a group of European immigrants were heading to North-Virginia (of that time), but they ended up in Cape Cod due to a sea storm. This happened in the late fall of 1620. This company grounded a town called Plymouth. They weren’t able to start farming or raising their own food because of the cold weather so they starved of a huge famine. Many people died. In the spring time, a local Indian chief named Massasoit helped the newcomers by giving them food and teaching them to raise their own food correctly. Next autumn the new Americans and local Indians joined to celebrate and eat together on a traditional Indian party of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest of the previous year. This common supper is considered to be the origin of the Thanksgiving Day we know today.      Nowadays families get together on a thanksgiving day to eat for example turkey, corn and pumpkin pies. Thanksgiving is a national holiday (in fact even for a couple of days). It is the most important family-holiday in U.S.A, even more important than Christmas.
