A for autumn’s frosty art and abundance in the heart.

N for neighbours and November, nice things, new things to remember.

K for kitchen, kettles’ croon, kith and kin expected soon,

S for sizzles, sights and sounds, and something special that abounds.

That  spells  THANKS- for joy in Living and jolly good Thanksgiving.

POEM

                                       Thanksgiving

           1.  Thank  you

             for all  my hands can hold-

             apples red

             and melons  gold,

             yellow  corn

             both ripe and sweet

             peas and beans

             so good to eat.

             2. Thank  you

             for all  my eyes can see-

             lovely  sunlight,

             field and  tree,

             white  cloud-bouts

             in sea-deep  sky

             soaring  bird

             and butterfly.

             3. Thank  you

             for all  my ears can hear-

             birds’  song  echoing

              far and  near,

             songs of  little

             stream, big sea,

             cricket, bullfrog,

             duck  and  bee!

 3.  This custom began with the Pilgrims in 1621.A pilgrim is a person who makes journey for religious reasons. They came to America for religious freedom. On September 16, 1620, a small ship called the Mayflower  , carrying 102 passengers. First, the weather  was good at sea. But

soon there were strong winds and storms. It was too late to go back to Plymouth. Winter was coming.  They decided to stay. They found the good place and called it Plymouth.

4. The first winter was  hard because they had little food. By spring many colonists died. The Indians taught the Pilgrims  how to hunt, fish, plant corn and survive in America. The crops did well and in the fall of 1621 the pilgrims had a great harvest . They were thankful and decided to celebrate it with Thanksgiving feast. They prepared a dinner of turkey, corn, beans and pumpkins. The Pilgrims invited 90 Indians . the Indians brought  deer meat and roast turkeys. The original Thanksgiving feast lasted 3 days and all food was prepared by 3 women. In 1864

at the end of the Civil War  Abraham Lincoln established the last Thursday in November as a day for all Americans to give thanks.

Traditionally Thanksgiving dinner has a roast turkey, potatoes, gravy,  cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie with whipped cream for dessert.
