What Is Thanksgiving? 

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a traditional North American holiday to give thanks at the conclusion of the harvest season. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States and on the second Monday of October in Canada.

The tradition stems from the Pilgrims who settled in the New World. After a hard first winter, they received help from the Abnaki Indians Samoset and Squanto. They helped the Pilgrims learn what crops to plant and how to make them grow. After the first harvest there was a great deal to celebrate so the Pilgrims threw a 3-day party and invited their Indian friends.

In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln appointed a national day of thanksgiving. The fourth Thursday in November was designated as the date of celebration. We celebrate with food, like turkey and stuffing, Pumpkin pie, cranberry jelly and mashed potatoes.

The Pilgrims 

Pilgrims, or Pilgrim Fathers, is a name commonly applied to the early settlers of the Plymouth Colony in present-day Plymouth, Massachusetts. Their leadership came from a religious congregation who had fled a volatile political environment in the East Midlands. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia in 1607) in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims' story has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States.

Dress as a pilgrim for Thanksgiving, what a wonderful idea to get you in the festive spirit of the holiday! I imagine this would make a perfect costume for a school play as well. Nice resource.
