What Are You Thankful For?

Thanksgiving is a day where we share what we are thankful for, whether that be friends or family, or even your furry friends. No matter what it is, everyone says they have something to be thankful for.

Thanksgiving started after pilgrims from Plymouth, England set sail to find the New World.

After many hardships, the pilgrims who survived, with help from the Native Americans, had a feast after a very good summer of growing crops.

They gave thanks to God for their health, and for their company.

Today, we still celebrate that feast, and give thanks.

So, what are you thankful for?
