What happens on Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. It is primarily a North American holiday which has generally become a national secular holiday with religious origins. The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida[1][2], the traditional "first Thanksgiving" is venerated as having occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621. Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members.

What is the history of Thanksgiving?
Little did the pilgrims and Indians know when they shared an autumn harvest feast in 1621 that it would be the beginning of an annual day of giving thanks called Thanksgiving. The gathering in 1621 lasted three days and is now known as the first Thanksgiving. The colonists held a second day of thanksgiving in 1623 to celebrate the end of a long drought. Days of thanksgiving were practiced by individual colonies and states from that time on, but it was not until 1789 that President George Washington issued the first official proclamation of a Thanksgiving Day. In 1817, New York became the first of several states to adopt an annual Thanksgiving holiday; however, all did not celebrate it on the same day. In 1827, Sarah Josepha Hale, editor and writer, launched a campaign to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. For the next 36 years, she wrote many editorials and letters to politicians. In 1863, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln headed her request and proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held every year on the last Thursday in November. During the Great Depression in 1939, in an effort to increase holiday sales, President Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving up a week. Because of heavy public opposition, he moved it to the fourth Thursday of November in 1941, which is the day it is celebrated today. Through the years, for many Thanksgiving has lost religious significance that it had in the beginning. It is now a day to meet with family and share a big dinner. Though it is questionable as to whether the pilgrims ate turkey on the first Thanksgiving, it has become the meat of choice for Thanksgiving through the years. Along with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie is served. Today, volunteering, especially in the form of food drives, and Thanksgiving Day parades are common. Another popular Thanksgiving tradition is the presidential pardon of a turkey, saving the bird from being eaten at a Thanksgiving feast.

Was pumpkin pie served at the first thanksgiving?
Although turkey has become the de facto main course for Thanksgiving dinner, there is no evidence that turkey was eaten at the first Thanksgiving meal between the Pilgrims and Indians. They most likely ate venison (deer) and seafood. It is possible that turkey was on the menu, but it would have just been another bird that was shot the same as a duck or a goose. It would have been cooked differently. More than likely the turkey would have been roasted over a fire or boiled. It certainly would not have been deep fried in oil or stuffed and oven roasted as it is today. So how did we get the idea that you have turkey and cranberry and such on Thanksgiving? It was because the Victorians prepared Thanksgiving that way. And they're the ones who made Thanksgiving a national holiday, beginning in 1863, when Abe Lincoln issued his presidential Thanksgiving proclamations...two of them: one to celebrate Thanksgiving in August, a second one in November. Before Lincoln Americans outside New England did not usually celebrate the holiday. (The Pilgrims, incidentally, didn't become part of the holiday until late in the nineteenth century. Until then, Thanksgiving was simply a day of thanks, not a day to remember the Pilgrims.)
