What we now know as the First Thanksgiving was celebrated by the pilgrims to give thanks for a successful corn harvest. The Native Americans (Indians) joined in celebrating with the pilgrims. At the time, they had no way to know that it would result in a national holiday that is celebrated still.
Thanksgiving is celebrated as a holiday in the United States to give thanks for the blessings of the past year, and to commemorate the first Thanksgiving feast between the Pilgrims and Native Americans in 1621. It is a time for people to come together with family and friends to express gratitude and appreciation.
