答案                                                    Thanksgiving Day
     Thanksgiving Day is one of the most truly American holidays in the United States and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.
     In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, sailed to America on the May Flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a two-month tempestuous voyage they landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts in the icy November.
     During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring.
     All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. Finally the fields produced a rich yield beyond expectations. And there-fore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed. Years later, a President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today.
