The first Thanksgiving occured in 1621. It was first celebrated by pilgrims and indians. The pilgrims wanted to show their gratitude to the indians because of all their help teaching them. So they made a meal where indians were invited. There was so much food that the meal lasted for three days. Some years later the original pilgrims continued celebrating and they suggested to make a special date for it.
ResponderEliminarI think it is good and bad to celebrate it because we should always thank God for everything, but we have to remember that it isn't really our holiday.

ResponderEliminarThanksgiving is an important holiday in Canada and United States. Thanksgiving is celebrated each year on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Pilgrims celebrated days of thanksgiving as part of their religion. But these were days of prayer, not days of feasting. The national holiday really stems from the feast held in the autumn of 1621 by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag to celebrate the colony's first harvest. I doesn´t agree about celebrating this especial holiday in Ecuador because we are making all the things they do in America, so that is bad because we are ecuador not USA. WE CAN´T COPY ALL !!! we are a independent country so we do not have to copy.
ResponderEliminarThe first National Thanksgiving day was celebrated in November 26, 1789 in United States. It is celebrated for saying thanks to God for everything He has given us. I don´t agree in celebrating Thanksgiving in Ecuador because it isn´t an Ecuadorian costume. Every country should only celebrate their holidays.
ResponderEliminarHowever, every day we should thank God for everything he has given us.
