Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a holiday celebrated
in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. It has been celebrated
as a federal holiday every year since 1863, when, during the Civil War,
President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and
Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelled in the Heavens", to be
celebrated on the last Thursday in November. Thanksgiving was also celebrated
nationally in 1789, after a proclamation by George Washington. As a federal and
public holiday in the U.S., Thanksgiving is one of the major holidays of the
year. Together with Christmas and New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the
broader holiday season. The event that Americans commonly call the "First
Thanksgiving" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in
the New World in 1621.This feast lasted three days, and it was attended by 90
Native Americans (as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow) and 53 Pilgrims. The
New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating
"thanksgivings"—days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as
military victory or the end of doughI am thankful for :1.Having a family that cares for me & loves me.2. Having roosters 3. Having a home.4. Having food.5.

People always making rumors and if you don't start it its okay as long you a CTR person were ever you are always so no to the bad things and yes to the good things
