The first winter after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620 was so devastating that by the beginning of the Fall of 1621 they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest for the first year was a bountiful one, so the remaining colonists decided to have a thanksgiving celebration with a feast. They invited 91 Indians who had helped the Pilgrims survive the first year. The Pilgrims might not have made it through the first year without the help of the Indians. The three-day Thanksgiving feast was more of a traditional English harvest festival than a true "thanksgiving" observance. Thanksgiving Dinner Party Invitations Cards

Every president has proclaimed Thanksgiving after Lincoln, although the Thanksgiving date was changed a couple of times. President Franklin Roosevelt changed the date of Thanksgiving one week to the next-to-last Thursday in order to create a longer Christmas shopping season. However, the public was so against this decision, he moved Thanksgiving back to its original date two years later. And in 1941, Thanksgiving was sanctioned by Congress as a legal holiday, as the fourth Thursday in November. Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!
