The History of THANKSGIVING DAY

Many Americans think of Thanksgiving as a wonderful time to celebrate getting out of school for a long weekend, and eating a great dinner. Or, maybe they think it is the start of the Christmas holiday season. What is the real meaning behind Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving can be traced back to the 16^th century when the first thanksgiving dinner is believed to have taken place.  Settlers came together to celebrate the fruits of their harvest and their life in a new land.  

The actual date of Thanksgiving Day observance varied over the years, until 1941.  On October 6, 1941, the U.S. Congress passed a resolution stating that a National Day of Thanksgiving would be observed each year on the fourth Thursday in November.  President Roosevelt signed the bill, and THANKSGIVING DAY officially became the fourth Thursday in November, a day set aside to give thanks for our many blessings.
