Do you know how Thanksgiving became an American tradition? Long ago, a group of people in England wanted to worship God in their own way. So to escape from the rule of the England church, they left their homeland and sailed on a ship called "The Mayflower". They landed on Plymouth one cold winter season. It had been very hard for them because they were strangers on the land. But then, native Americans helped them by giving them seeds to plant and food. They taught them about their new home and taught them things in order to survive, like planting and harvesting their own food. Then after some time, the Pilgrims had their fall harvest and because of these good fortune, they celebrated a feast and invited the native Americans who helped them. That is how the first Thanksgiving came.
