Thanksgiving

Some of the differences between the first Thanksgiving and the present-day Thanksgiving would be that the Pilgrims would have hunted wild turkey. The bird would need to be prepared to cook. They would have also harvested any food that had been grown, and that food would also be prepared. The first Thanksgiving was held outdoors.

1,500 cheerleaders, dancers, singers and performers; 800 clowns; 15 giant character helium balloons; 35 novelty/ornament balloons, balloonheads and balloonicles; 10 marching bands; 24 floats; and a host of celebrity performers.

Per James W. Baker, Senior Historian at Plimoth Plantation, "The reason that we have so many myths associated with Thanksgiving is that it is an invented tradition. It doesn't originate in any one event. It is based on the New England puritan Thanksgiving, which is a religious Thanksgiving, and the traditional harvest celebrations of England and New England and maybe other ideas like commemorating the pilgrims. All of these have been gathered together and transformed into something different from the original parts."

It is more religious in nature than the American Thanksgiving. Many families serve traditional German foods instead of turkey and other dishes associated with American Thanksgivings.

There are two written accounts of the Plymouth colonists' harvest feast in 1621: one from Edward Winslow (published as "Mourt's Relation") and the other by William Bradford ("Of Plymouth Plantation"). Both mention that the colonists brought in numerous fowl (presumably ducks and geese, as Winslow implies that they were migratory, only Bradford mentions wild turkeys) and the Wampanoag Indians went out and killed five deer. That is all we know from the first-hand accounts; everything else is speculation.
