Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

It became an official Federal holiday in 1863, when, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day, to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November. Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal. The meal often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pie, and vegetables. Thanksgiving Day is a time for many people to give thanks for what they have. Most government offices, businesses, schools and other organizations are closed on Thanksgiving Day. In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states.

Kindness 

These videos that we watch in class were amazing. There were some people that choose the right and other that choose the wrong. There was a video in were act of kindness showed, when the boy instead of keeping the baseball he gave it back to the owner. When he gave the ball back to they called  him and gave him a bat were it was signed by his favorite player and got free tickets to baseball games. This a perfect example of kindness, If we choose the right we sometimes even get rewarded even better then just the feeling of doing the right.
