Since you asked....:-)
many, many years ago pilgrims from Plymouth England came to the united states and struggled hard to establish themselves on the untamed american frontier. Many of them died and were unable to produce enough food for themselves. The local indians (native americans) taught them how to grow enough food. To thank the native americans for their help, and in the spirit of peace between their people, they invited them to a great feast - the first thanksgiving. So each year we eat a TREMENDOUS amount of food, especially turkey and get together and try to remember to be thankful.
