Well, I was watching a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special the other day
And according to that, the pilgrims first celebrated thanksgiving because they were happy that they found land or something, then they ate a bunch of food while Schroeder played the piano

Turkeyman will be sad if he doesn't get celebrated.

But turkeyman's kids die every year to fill Human's bellies.

Yes, like militarydudes said, it was the Pilgrims and Native Americans of the area celebrating either the fact that they had a good harvest or the fact that they had survived however long they were there before Thanksgiving.

Yes, Thanksgiving is about Schroeder's stupid piano.

My spider sense is telling me that you have piano issues

Ah. Well, I could make a whole history chapter about it, but I'll try to put in short.

Some English people, were hiding from their country in Netherlands, because of their king. But it was hard for them to get jobs in Netherlands. So, William Bradford, the leader of the English people who separated from England (called Separatists) decided to make their own territory at the "New World" (North America).
So, the Separatists made a ship called the Mayflower and sailed to America. Some Spanish settlers who already lived in America said that it was alright if the English people decided to live in their territory. But the Separatists wanted a shorter route and so they arrived at Cape Cod in Massachusetts (did I spell that correctly?  ).
However, the English people weren't used to life in America, and they had a hard time during the winter. But a Native American of the "Wampanoag" tribe, Squanto, befriended the English people and introduced them to new plants such as corn. Squanto could speak English as well, so that made it easier for him to communicate with the English people. He taught the English people, as a matter of fact, how to use fish as a fertilizer for food!
And finally, sometime between September and November, the Wampanoag tribe and the English people had a large feast with all the food they planted and fished for called "Thanksgiving". It lasted for three days, and it was nice because the Wampanoag tribe and the English people actually got together in peace.

And that's the origin on Thanksgiving.
