In New England, the first Thanksgiving Day was celebrated in Plymouth in
1621 by the Pilgrims together with 91 Indians. The Pilgrims first set
foot at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. The first winter in
Massachusetts was really bad and 46 out of the original 102 Pilgrims
died. It is believed that the Indians helped the Pilgrims through that
difficult period and without them, the Pilgrims would not have survived.
This is the origen of Thanksgiving.
Today, Thanksgiving Day is usually a family reunion dinner celebration. Roast turkey is a favorite dish on this day
