I will write about a little history, because on Thursday November 24th was the day ofThanksgiving 2011, and further explain the reason for this peculiar name.

THANKSGIVING DAY

Thanksgiving Day is an old costumer and was common in Europe and Asia long before the Pilgrim Fathers gave their thanksgiving in the autumn of 1621. Half of their number had died during their terrible first winter. But in the autumn, the harvest was success. They were as joyful, they organized a great feast. Id lasted three days. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November.

THE PILGRIM FATHER

The Pilgrim Father left Plymouth, England in September 1620. They were punt of the group of 102 passengers who were travelling to New England to start a new life in the colonies. They arrival in Massachusetts after sixty-six days at sea in terrible weather. Their ship, the may flower, remained until the following spring, providing them with shelter while they built hours for themselves. A replica of the mayflower which sailed to the Stated in 1957 is a play mouth Massachusetts.
