Presidential Turkey Pardon
Pardoning turkeys began in 1947 during the reign of President Truman. On this day, in the White House, the president of America will choose one or two turkeys to set free. No one can kill them. The chosen turkey will be sent to a farm and live the rest of its life there. I think that's a way to express thanks to the nature.

Origin of Thanksgiving Day
In Sep.1620, some pilgrims couldn't tolerate the rules of the church in England. So they sailed to Holland . It’s better, but they were not satisfied. To seek religious freedom, they begun the journey to America by the ship Mayflower. After 65 days, they set ground at Plymouth Rock on Dec.11,1620. It's winter then. But there was not enough food and it's very cold, and they didn’t adapted to the environment. After the harsh winter, only 56 survived. The next year, with the help of the native Indians, they have a nice harvest. Then they decided to celebrate with a feast. It lasted for 3 days.

The day after Thanksgiving……
The day after Thanksgiving Day is the Black Friday! Why we call it Black Friday? Because it's the beginning of the crazy shopping month between Thanksgiving and Christmas. On this day almost all stores are on HUGE sales. You have to wake up really early and fight off people to get really good deals on all the stuff you want to buy. We all know that Thanksgiving is on Thursday. So we call it "Black Friday".
Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. It is a holiday celebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. Thanksgiving is a unique American festival which started in 1621. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November as a national holiday of Thanksgiving. Finally in 1941, Congress declared that the holiday would be celebrated every year on the fourth Thursday in November.
