Thanksgiving Day is celebrated last Thursday of November, but many Americans take day of a holiday on Friday at the same time and as a result receive four days off. It allows them to make distant trips to visit relatives or friends. The history of a holiday ascends by 1621 when to Massachusetts there arrived puritans full of determination to practise the heterodox religion without hindrances. After severe winter during which about a half of immigrants died they asked for the help Indian neighbors who taught them to plant corn and other cultures. The plentiful crop reaped next fall put some idea to them to render thanks to the Lord, having arranged a festive entertainment. The feast on Thanksgiving Day became national tradition — and not only because so many Americans achieved prosperity on this earth, but also because our mind is still blown by those sacrifice which were made by the first immigrants for the sake of the freedom. Up to that moment the festive dinner almost always includes something in Thanksgiving Day from those dishes which were served on the first festive feast: fried turkey, cranberry sauce, potatoes, pumpkin pie. Before starting a meal, whether it be in the bosom of the family or among friends, it is accepted to uplift gratitude for these gifts including for joy of a meeting on a holiday case.
