Are you ready for tomorrow?

Tomorrow is finally Thanksgiving and most American  families are preparing for the feast to come! But do you know why we celebrate Thanksgiving?  Most people think it's when pilgrims arrived to Plymouth Rock in southeastern Massachusetts on December 1620. The pilgrims fled from England because they were forced to follow their leaders religious beliefes and following their own was illegal and could result in incarceration, so they seeked religious freedom  and thus boarded the Mayflower. The local natives reacted with hostility and forced the pilgrims further along the coast to Cape Cod where they were greeted warmly. The Wampanoag s taught them to plant vegetables, and to hunt. The following year the pilgrims had a succesful harvest so they invited the Wampanoag people and  celebrated thankful for their success, their freedom and their new friendship. The first Thanksgiving is thought to have lasted 3 days as the natives had provided a large quantity of food as well. Another belief as to where Thanksgiving originated is when the Spanish explorer Pedro Menendez de Avilas arrived to what is now Saint Augustine,Florida. After a thanksgiving mass for their safe arrival he invited the Timucua Indians to a celebratory meal. This was the first recorded meal made speciffically for thanksgiving. There are other beliefs on the origins and if your interested in them click here  But whatever your belief is I wanna wish you a Happy and Warm Thanksgiving.
