Thanksgiving is here, the holiday that people eat lots of good food and spend time with their Family members.
Thanksgiving is known as the time for a gathering at home with family or friends for a holiday feast. Usually, in the United States there is parades, spending time with family, football games and people eating large meals.
The first recorded Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Dinner was recorded on September 8th, 1565. At which time 600 Spanish settlers landed at what is now St. Augustine, Florida, and immediately held a Mass of Thanksgiving for their safe delivery to the New World; there followed a feast and celebration. As the La Florida colony did become part of the United States, this can be classified as the first Thanksgiving.
