After the United States became an independent country, Congress recommended one yearly day of thanksgiving for the whole nation to celebrate. In 1789 George Washington, the first president of the United States, proclaimed November 26 a day of Thanksgiving.
The American Thanksgiving holiday began as a feast of thanksgiving in the early days of the American colonies almost four hundred years ago.
The American traditions of Thanksgiving revolve around a huge and lavish meal. As tradition has it in most families, a special prayer of thanks precedes the meal.
Thanksgiving is a time for families to create traditions and memories that last a lifetime.
