In 1620， the pilgrims sailed to America on the May Flower， looking for a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a tempestuous two？鄄month sea journey they landed at， in icy November， what is now Plymouth， Massachusetts.
During their first winter， over half of the settlers died of hunger or diseases. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring. All summer long they waited for the harvests eagerly， knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. Finally the fields produced a harvest accidentally. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed. Years later， president of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been celebrated on that date until today.
The style of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table， people will find apples， oranges， chestnuts， walnuts and grapes. There will be plum pudding， meat pie， other kinds of food and juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years.
Thanksgiving today is， in every sense， a national annual holiday on which Americans of all beliefs and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year？蒺s kindness and reverently ask for continued blessings.

1620年，一些朝圣者（清教徒）乘坐“五月花”号船去美国寻求宗教自由。他们在海上颠簸折腾了两个月之后，终于在酷寒的十一月里，在现在的马萨诸塞州的普利茅斯登陆。
在第一个冬天，半数以上的移民都死于饥饿和疾病，活下来的人们在第一个春季开始播种。整个夏天他们都热切地盼望着丰收的到来，他们深知自己的生存以及殖民地的存在都将取决于即将到来的收成。终于，庄稼获得了意外的丰收，所以大家决定选一个日子来感谢上帝的恩典。多年以后，美国总统宣布每年十一月的第四个星期四为感恩节。感恩节庆祝活动便定在这一天，直到如今。
感恩节庆祝模式许多年来从未改变。丰盛的家宴早在几个月之前就开始着手准备。人们在餐桌上可以吃到苹果、橘子、栗子、胡桃和葡萄，还有李子布丁、肉馅饼，各种其他食物以及果汁和饮料，其中最棒和最吸引人的是烤火鸡和南瓜馅饼。这些年来，这些菜一直是感恩节中最富于传统意义和最受人喜爱的食品。
