Arriving at the beginning of a very hard winter, they could not find enough food to eat, so many of them died. However, Native Americans helped them to save food for the next winter. Therefore, they held a big celebration - "Thanksgiving" - to thank the Native Americans and worship God. Today, Thanksgiving is nationally celebrated in the U.S on the fourth Thursday in November to remember these early days.
The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner. The meal includes turkey filled with stuffing, sweet potatoes, and cranberries. Many families have their own special way of cooking.

In New York, there is the Macy's Parade - a long line of people march through the streets with large balloons in the shape of imaginary characters.
