By the same turn, I might just as well ask what the hell Guy Fawkes Day or Boxing Day is!
Hmmm?
Well, Guy Fawkes day is the day when a guy called (you guessed it) Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the British Parliment..
(No i don't get why we celebrate someone trying to blow our goverment up ethier)
Errr... i don't get boxing day..
To put it simply, the frst colonists nearly died at the onset of winter in the Americas. A local Native American tribe showed them how to make it throught the winter. They basically stocked the colonist back up on supplies so they could eat, survive, and stay warm etc. The colonist then had a huge feast and celebration with the native tribe as the guest of honor, givng thanks to them. So now Americans gather with their families and give thanks for the good fortune in their lives. odd though, I bet if the native tribe had any idea what the future held they would have let the colinst starve.
