What is this holiday about? Why is it so important to our nation\u2019s history? This article will dive into all these questions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanksgiving Day is an annual national holiday, typically celebrated in the United States and Canada, that honors the harvest and other bounties of the previous year. It is often seen as a holiday to be spent with friends and family and celebrate the things they are grateful for. Thanksgiving is typically seen as a holiday that stands for peace, thankfulness, and a beginning to the holiday season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the success of the Pilgrims&#8217; first grain harvest in November 1621, Governor William Bradford organized a celebratory feast and invited some of the colony&#8217;s Native American supporters, including Wampanoag chief Massasoit. The feast, often known as America&#8217;s &#8220;first Thanksgiving&#8221; (though the Pilgrims may not have used the word at the time), lasted three days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"418\" src=\"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image.png 800w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-768x401.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways that people celebrate Thanksgiving. During an interview with <strong>Jasmine Sadler<\/strong>, a student from Lenape Tech\u2019s advertising department, she said that, \u201cI wake up super early with my family so we can watch the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Parade and the dog show later. We then eat dinner in the afternoon and dessert at night.\u201d While interviewing <strong>Ayden Douglas<\/strong>, a student from Lenape Tech\u2019s culinary department, he stated, \u201cMy family normally eats dinner together and then watches a movie.\u201d No matter how someone celebrates Thanksgiving, the day should still be remembered as a day to be grateful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Calia Bennett&nbsp; On the fourth Thursday in November of each year, we celebrate an&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2002,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2000"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2003,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000\/revisions\/2003"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2002"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
