Thanks Giving Day

Thanks Giving Day 

What is Thanksgiving? Thanks giving is a day where you feast and give thanks to the lord. originally it was between the Pilgrims and Indians to celebrate the first good harvest. In reality thanksgiving can be different for a lot of people. For example the Indian tribes do not recognize thanksgiving because the pilgrims killed Indians the following days. For others it is a joyful day to give gratitude for all that the lord has done for them. Thanksgiving was also not made official in 1621 it was actually made official 1637 or 1863.  Thanksgiving originally was never on November it was actually celebrated in August or October as a regular get together. Truth of the matter i'm not even sure when it was made official because according to many different resources checked i saw that they all had different dates so I cannot provide you with accurate information on thanksgiving. 

Here are some sources I used:

  3. My wealth
  4. My friends
  5. My education
  6. My shelter 
  7. Food 
  8. My Life 
  9. The Challenge/hardship
