Part One of The Best, Easy, and Quick Thanksgiving Recipes!
When is Thanksgiving? This year Thanksgiving is on November 28, 2024, a Thursday. The history of Thanksgiving typically learned in elementary school suggests a collaboration and unity amongst Pilgrims and Native Americans. In 1621, the Pilgrims had endured a cold winter and many became sick as a result. Once the Pilgrims settled, the Native Americans taught the Pilgrims to plant crops. When the harvesting was successful, there was a festival of three days celebrating it. This holiday became known as Thanksgiving and was officially declared by President Lincoln.
Today, many Americans celebrate Thanksgiving by gathering around hearty food and giving thanks as the Pilgrims and Native Americans did in 1621.
