Background information

Thanksgiving is a holiday with roots in the early 17th century. It began as a harvest festival, celebrating the year’s bounty. The tradition traces back to a feast shared by settlers and Indigenous peoples. They gathered to give thanks for a successful harvest. The meal included various foods native to the land. Among these, the turkey became a central symbol. The bird was abundant and provided ample meat for large gatherings. Over time, the turkey became synonymous with the holiday. Families would roast a turkey as the main dish. This tradition has continued through generations.

Thanksgiving evolved into a national holiday in the 19th century. It became a time for families to come together. The turkey remained the focal point of the meal. It symbolizes gratitude and sharing. Other dishes have been added over the years. However, the turkey still holds a special place. The holiday serves as a reminder of unity and thankfulness. It reflects on the importance of community and generosity. Thanksgiving continues to be celebrated annually. The turkey dinner remains a cherished tradition. It connects people to the holiday’s historical origins. The act of sharing a meal fosters bonds among family and friends.
