Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day



Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving is a holiday that is celebrated in the U.S every fourth Thursday of November. President Abraham Lincoln made it an official federal holiday in 1863. The first thanksgiving was celebrated by the early pilgrims after their first harvest in the North America. Also people say that thanksgiving was a day when all the members of the community give thanks to god for common purposes. Even though I never celebrated thanksgiving, I have a lot of things I’m thankful of and I don’t just use one day to express them. I’m thankful to God because he has given us life every day, thankful for food, thankful my family isn’t separate by divorce or death, thankful that have friends who are like my brothers and sisters, thankful for having the necessities I need, thankful for the teachers who care, thankful that I’m not into drugs or getting pregnant,  thankful to the people around me because some are kind and generous, thankful that even though one person might not want listen there is another one just waiting to do that, thankful for parents that really care for me, thankful for sibling that even though we might fight we still love each other, and thankful that I am still alive to say that I’m thankful.
