What was first celebrated in 1621?
Thanksgiving was celebrated one time in the Autumn of 1621.
It wasn't celebrated very much after that until 1863 when it became a national holiday
and became something we would celebrate every year.
What wasn't a national holiday before 1863?
Thanksgiving was not celebrated every year.
Until Abraham Lincoln made it a reoccurring holiday in 1863.
Sarah Josepha Hale tried to convince the president for many years by writing him letters.
And after 17 years he agreed.
What day do you give thanks?
Thanksgiving was created so that we can remember to be thankful.
Back then, the Pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving to give thanks for a successful harvest and
past year but now it's to give thanks for any and everything and spending time with
family and friends- And eating a lot of food.
What day involves a lot of cooking?
Thanksgiving is a day where chefs can show off their skills in the kitchen.
It's a day where you start cooking as soon as you wake up and don't stop cooking until
it's almost the end of the day.
What day do you eat a lot of food?
Thanksgiving is a day for feasts.
Pumpkin and apple pie with whipped cream alongside ice cream.
Turkey, usually eaten with cranberry sauce.
Mashed potatoes, usually eaten with gravy.
And stuffing, well, stuffing is great by itself.
What day was there almost no feast?
Thanksgiving was almost a holiday where people would eat nothing.
In 1621, the Pilgrims had initially intended to eat nothing and just fast the whole day
for their celebration but instead they were visited by the Wampanoag tribe who brought
five deer, turkeys, fish and much more of nature's bounty.
They then feasted for three days straight.
What occurs on the 4th Thursday of November?
Thanksgiving falls on a different day every year.
But always the 4th Thursday of that month because in 1939, President Franklin Roosevelt
felt that it would give people a couple more days to shop for the holidays.
When should you spend money?
Thanksgiving is right before Black Friday.
And Black Friday is when almost every store has a sale.
It's mayhem.
But if you decide to weather this storm, you'll save a couple bucks.
What day should you spend with friends and family?
Thanksgiving is not about you.
It's about those around you.
As the temperature starts to go lower and lower…
Thanksgiving will help you feel warmer.
Physically and emotionally.
And that's how the answer is Thanksgiving.
