Thanksgiving Day

                  Thanksgiving is a holiday where we share thanks, and show what we are thankful for. A popular tradition for this holiday is to roast turkey. This tradition was carried on from the time of the first feast by the Pilgrims and Native Americans.  They had a feast in thanks of their first full harvest in this new land.  The Pilgrims invited the Native Americans, who helped them in the harsh winter.  The turkey has been a tradition for a few reasons.  One reason is that it was served as the main dish for the Pilgrims first harvesting feast. Another reason could be that Benjamin Franklin called the turkey a 'respectable' bird. The last reason is that geese were very popular dishes in England, but there were not many in the New World, so they settled for turkey. These are some possible  reasons to why we eat turkey on Thanksgiving, but none are certain.
