The Thanksgiving Story
The Pilgrims who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the English Separatist Church (a Puritan ct). They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religious percution. There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventually became dinchanted with the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to finance a pilgrimage to America. Most of tho making the trip aboard the Mayflower were non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the company's interests. Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

ailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast -- including 91 Indians who had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. It is believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year without the help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvest festival than a true "thanksgiving" obrvance. It lasted three days.

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie. But it is unlikely that the first feast included that treat. The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread or pastries of any kind. However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced a type of fried bread from their corn crop. There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter. There was no domestic cattle for dairy products, and the newly-discovered potato was still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous. But th
e feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums.安全生产横幅
This "thanksgiving" feast was not repeated the following year. But in 1623, during a vere drought, the pilgrims gathered in a prayer rvice, praying for rain. When a long, steady rain followed the very next day, Governor Bradford proclaimed another day of Thanksgiving, again inviting their Indian friends. It wasn't until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed.
On June 20, 1676, the governing council of Charlestown, Massachutts, held a meeting to determine how best to express thanks for the good fortune that had en their community curely established. By unanimous vote they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29 as a day of thanksgiving. It is notable that this thanksgiving celebration probably did not include the Indians, as the celebration was meant partly to be in recognition of the colonists' recent victory over the "heathen natives," .二月节日

George Washington proclaimed a National Day of Thanksgiving in 1789, although some were oppod to it. There was discord among the colonies, many feeling the hardships of a few Pilgrims did not warrant a national holiday. And later, President Thomas Jefferson scoffed at the idea of having a day of thanksgiving.

Hale wrote many editorials championing her cau in her Boston Ladies' Magazine, and later, in Godey's Lady's Book. Finally, after a 40-year campaign of writing editorials and letters to governors and presidents, Hale's obssion became a reality when, in 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as a national day of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving was proclaimed by every president after Lincoln. The date was changed a couple of times, most recently by Franklin Roovelt, who t it up one week to the next-t
o-last Thursday in order to create a longer Christmas shopping ason. Public uproar against this decision caud the president to move Thanksgiving back to its original date two years later. And in 1941, Thanksgiving was finally sanctioned by Congress as a legal holiday, as the fourth Thursday in November.
The days
Looking at mylf in the mirror this morning, I found my body a bit thinner and my face looked pale. I tried to squeeze a smile, but the mirror showed me an ugly smelling face. I shaved, took a shower and even prayed some perfume on mylf, but I just felt sad and lonely.
I’ve been living alone for weeks. I miss you, dear! Although I have no idea where you are or what you are doing right now, I guess you must be somewhere thinking about me too. This is what I always do to comfort mylf. I know the fact that you have left me forever. I just don’t want to remind mylf of it.
