Hey Guys!
Some days ago, I was watching a YouTube-video
titled “The story of Thanksgiving” and it talks about how Thanksgiving has
originated. I thought you might be interested in this blog because Thanksgiving
took place last Thursday and Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving was a
very hot topic this year.
This holiday has a long history, which
started in 1620 when the Pilgrims arrived and settled in the state of
Massachusetts. Their first winter in America was hard to survive. They arrived
too late to farm the land, so they starved. Half of the colony died from
disease. The following spring the local tribe of Native Americans taught them
how to grow cornand other crops. In the autumn of 1621 the Pilgrims got a rich
harvest of corn, beans, pumpkin and other vegetables. The first Thanksgiving
was held 1621 and was a
three-day feast.Of course, they praised the Lord, and thanked him for all the food he gave
them. This is how the festivity got started.
Now Thanksgiving is an official holiday in
the United States and it is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. The
day after this feast is called Black Friday and it is the beginning of the
country’s Christmas shopping season. Black Friday is generally perceived to be
one of the largest major American holiday shopping days for the retail
industry, and is the day that most retailers become profitable for the year
Thank you for reading this blog!
