Because Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for what you have. It originated with the pilgrims and Indians getting together to "give thanks" (thanksgiving) to God.One of the very first Thanksgiving days actually occurred before the arrival of the Pilgrims. This festival was completely religious in nature, and did not involve any feasting. On 4 December 1619, a group of settlers from England arrived at Berkeley Plantation on the James River, now known as Charles City, Virginia. This group dedicated this day of their arrival as a Day of Thanksgiving to God.

Thanksgiving Day commemorates the settling of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, Massachusetts, and the success of their first harvest. It was clear after this harvest - and the large meal that followed - that it would be possible to survive in this new world. Since then, Thanksgiving has become a day to remember the things in life that people are thankful for. George Washington made Thanksgiving an official American holiday in 1789, but the date was not standardized until Abraham Lincoln passed the law in 1863.
