The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1941 and the idea of Thanksgiving is family gatherings, turkey, football and fun with friends. Family and friends gather together to give thanks and how much each person mean to them. Every year people take time out of their busy schedule to give thanks and appreciate each other’s efforts.
