Thanksgiving, a holiday that consists of eating until you burst. I like Thanksgiving cause I can help cook, that is what I really like doing, oh and spending time with my family, that is important to. I am thankful for a lot of things, like for an example, my family, my house, my siblings, and I can’t forget food. It’s a very good feeling when you are at the table laughing and all around enjoying your self, and that is the thing I am thankful for the most.

According to the US National Archives, the first federal congress passed a resolution in 1789 requesting the then US president, George Washington, to name a national Thanksgiving Day. The president then proclaimed the 26th of November as the “Day of Public Thanksgiving” for that year. So George Washington is the one to officially name Thanksgiving, that’s cool. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is known as “Drinks giving.” Thanksgiving Eve is traditionally the busiest bar night of the year. I didn’t need to know that, but ok? During the first Thanksgiving ceremony, the Pilgrims and the Native Americans ate their thanksgiving dinner using spoons and knives only. This is because by then, forks had not yet been invented. About 10 years later, Governor Winthrop of Massachusetts introduced the fork, although it didn’t become popular until the 1800s. Wow, that is very interesting, I thought forks were way older.

Thank you for reading, I hope you have a great day. Adios amigos!
