Thanksgiving Day: Filled With Family Traditions and, Oh Yes, Food

As the story goes, when spring came the Pilgrims planted crops with the help of an American Indian named Squanto.  By the end of summer there was a good harvest of corn and barley.  There was enough food to last through the winter.  The Pilgrims held a celebration of thanks for their harvest.  A nearby Indian tribe, the Wampanoags, took part and the feast lasted three days.
