Thanksgiving

History

• In 1621, the colonists and the Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations.

For more than two centuries,

days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states.

In 1863 the President

Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

Thanksgiving Thoughts

Mom is in the kitchen,And when I take a look,I'm glad I'm not a turkey

That's she's about to cook! A Child's Thanksgiving Thanks

I'm thankful for the many thingsThat help us live as well as kings,

For all the food that makes us drool,

And another holiday from school.

To Gramma's House

To Gramma's house we go,Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho!We're on our way with horse and sleigh,Through fluffy drifts of snow.

Oh, what a trip to take.She'll have a chocolate cake.There'll be some pies, of monstrous size,And chestnuts we can bake

To Gramma's house we go,Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho!What lovely things Thanksgiving brings;The nicest things we know!

Countdown To Thanksgiving

One two three,A turkey in a tree;

Four five six,That turkey's in a fix;

Seven eight nine,It always tastes so fine;

When we get to tenIt's Thanksgiving once again.
