The Thanksgiving Day was introduced in 1789 on the recommendation of President George Washington and the approval of the Congress. Later, in 1941, President Roosevelt signed a law that officially establishes Thanksgiving as a holiday celebrating Thursday the fourth Thursday in November.
The Thanksgiving Day has drawn its roots since the first English immigrants, and celebrates the community of different cultures. This holiday was accepted by everyone no matter where they came from when they arrived in America. It is celebrated with a roasted turkey and plenty of food. Upon arrival in the new world, after 66 days of difficult travel, English settlers agreed to immediately establish equality among themselves and accept the common name Pilgrims – pilgrims.In the port that they named Plymouth, in the state of Massachusetts, the first enthusiasm and happiness were soon encountered by difficulties in obtaining food. They were saved by local Indians, who provided them with food and learned how to grow corn and other vegetables.When the pilgrims were raising enough to survive the coming winter, the pilgrims celebrated it with the Indians, and on the table, among other things, there was a wild turkey.

I don’t know about thanksgiving before, thanks for sharing.
I don’t know about thanksgiving at all, because we don’t have this holiday in our country.
We do not have this holiday in our country
I know. We don’t have it in our country, as well.
Nice post! It’s also amazing what an interesting discussion appeared in comments… We do not have this holiday but I love to watch or read about its celebration. It is close to Christmas and has some of its magic vibes.
Thank you, Natalya! I love to watch or read about how people in the world celebrate their holidays as well.
The first thing I thought was .. They were saved by the Indians. And then the same Indians expelled them from their land, and closed them with a fence.Their movement was limited, and to this day there are people of second order. Life is someone’s mother, and someone’s stepmother.
Indians expelled them from their land?
I apologize. My English is very bad. Those who came, they expelled the Indians ..But, ok, the whole world knows it, I think it’s clear what I wanted to say.
Ah, so…It’ OK. Don’t worry!
i made my own hummus with a can of cooked chickpeas as well as making my own tahini with sesame seeds. that way, i also added extra garlic and olive oil. that was my vegan meal…
I am sure that is delicious. And everyone enjoy his own way of preparing food.
for me, the holidays were always about family reunions. lots of relatives get together at someone’s house and just hang out. i am vegan/vegetarian…so i dont care for turkey or other meat food. so, i eat certain vegetarian dishes, which are a couple.
It doesn’t matter what we eat, it’s important to be together on some days and enjoying each other. Am I right?
This is the first time I know the history of Thanksgiving. Thanks, Milena.
You’re welcome, Albert! I enjoy to teach someone something. I am glad it was you this time.
Even though I don’t celebrate it, knowing about it is still useful!
I don’t celebrate it, too, but want to know about other countries and their people.
Yes, that kind of thing is interesting indeed.
This is not even celebrated for 1x
We Indian Christians have thanksgiving days of our own. However , it is celebrated as a harvest feast and different communities of people have it on different days.
This is very interesting. It’s good to know how people celebrate it in different countries.
Thank you for sharing the history of Thanksgiving. Due to financial hard times, we had to skip the turkey.
The turkey is not necessary anyway. You’re welcome!
My relatives enjoyed the meal on Thursday which was meat with rice and green beans.
That was a great meal! I would rather take that than turkey. You were probably enjoying.
The meal was great on Thanksgiving.
the turkey is a bird. it needs to fly free…
I agree with you but as the turkey eats other small animals some people take the right to eat turkeys Nature is cruel.
We don’t have this, but this is another story about Thanksgiving. I have read it was about freeing the slaves before and also about good harvest.
Who-we??? There are several stories about everything. Who knows what the truth is.
It is very weird how different countries celebrate the same thing but on different dates. Here in Canada Thanksgiving this year was on the 8th of October and is always in October. I do not know why but it might come up in one of my history posts. I think, though that it might have to do with the harvest season which here in Canada, being further up North, it arrives earlier and thus finishes earlier than the United States’ harvest season. But we celebrate it the same way with turkey and all the trimmings leading up to Christmas again with turkey and “tourtière” (meat pie) and of all the trimmings again.
I’m looking forward to read your post about Thanksgiving in Canada. I hope you’ll explain us how you prepare meat pie.
Well just in case I do not write a post on Thanksgiving, I can give you a quickie on meat pie. First you need minced beef and pork. Cook well and add spices as you like. Drain but not completely otherwise the filling of your pie will be too dry. Then use an already made filling pie crust or make your own and pour in and then put the other pie crust over it and voilà! That is about it. Of course you can find recipes on the web just about everywhere or you can buy ready made from StHubert or Swanson or PC (President’s Choice) etc. Whummy. I just love that dish any day of the year actually.
Oh, thank you very much for your recipe about meat pie! It sounds delicious. I must try it. I will enjoy preparing it by myself.
Just got done eating and cleaning the kitchen. All done for another year.
I hope you had good time …..
