Thanksgiving is a holiday where you celebrate the things you’re thankful for. It was started in 1621 by the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims. Christmas, which is celebrated on December 25, commemorates the birth of Jesus. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the two most popular holidays in the U.S.A. We asked some people at our school which holiday they prefer and why.
- Mrs. Burnham: “Christmas, because Christmas is the happiest time of the year.”
- Carter Martin: “Christmas, because I get presents.”
