Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans
it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for
Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.
Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620
the ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims.
They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough food to eat, so many
of them died. But in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to
eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the
Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.
Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of
the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America
