Both countries celebrate Thanksgiving with turkey, pumpkins and pies.

In the United States, Thanksgiving Day parades and football games have become important traditions as well.

The tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving dates back to the 1600s. The Pilgrims of the Plymouth Colony held the first Thanksgiving in 1621.

They had landed in America on their ship, the Mayflower, in December 1620. Only half of them survived that first winter.

The next year, an Indigenous group called the Wampanoag helped the colonists learn to grow crops.

That fall the harvest was good, and the Pilgrims had a gathering to celebrate. They did not invite the Wampanoag.

The Wampanoag heard of the feast, though, and brought more food. The two groups then shared a feast that lasted for three days.

Thanksgiving is an exciting holiday that teaches us the power of thankfulness and gratitude.
