  1. All About Thanksgiving By Tionna Hayes Hour 6

  2. What is ‘Thanksgiving’? This celebration is one of the most famous. This celebration takes place in Plymouth, Massachusetts, 1621. The first winter the Pilgrims had in the "New World' was a brutal one. Times did eventually grow easier on them though, the following harvest season was so bountiful in fact that the Pilgrims decided to hold a feast for celebration and thanksgiving. This festival, which lasted three days, included the participation of nearly one hundred Native Americans. Gov. William Bradford had invited the natives to show them appreciation, for helping his colony survive through the harsh weather conditions.

  3. The First Thanksgiving In early autumn of 1621, the 53 surviving Pilgrims celebrated their successful harvest, as was the English custom. During this time, “many of the Indians coming... amongst the rest their great king Massasoit, with some ninety men”. That 1621 celebration is remembered as the “First Thanksgiving in Plymouth.”

  5. Thanksgiving FestivitiesFootball The matchup between the Lions and the World Champion Chicago Bears proved to be an all-time classic. The 1934 Lions had not allowed a touchdown until their eighth game and entered the game with the Bears with a 10-1 record. But with 11 straight wins, Chicago had an even better record. Do you know who won???

  6. How is Thanksgiving Celebrated in Other Countries? The Chinese celebrate August Moon festival that falls on the 15th day of 8th lunar month of their calendar. Chinese believe that the moon is roundest and brightest on this day. Below the heavenly moonlight, lovers speak out their heart to each other. It is also known as Women Festival. Conventionally women are considered similes to warm and compassionate virtues and have the gift of fertility, just like Mother Earth. Unlike the famous pumpkin pie, the Chinese delicacies consist of moon-cake. Friends and relatives convey their regard to each other by gifting moon cake. The celebration falls on 15th of August, which is known as Chu-Sok (meaning "fall evening"). It begins on 14th night and continues for three days. Koreans make a dish called 'Songpyon' unique for that occasion consisting of rice, beans, sesame seeds and chestnuts. Before having the food, the family gathers beneath the moonlight, in remembrance of their ancestors and forefathers. The children dress in long-prescribed dress dancing in circle with an inherent desire of their blessing. &
