History of Thanksgiving



Thanksgiving begins when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last thursday of November to be a day of giving thanks and praise to God and his only son. This proclamation day was held on the civil war on October 3rd, 1836. The very first thanksgiving was held on 1621 by the Pilgrims. They invited Native Americans to join them and to eat what they harvested from their crops. We still celebrate thanksgiving today with turkey, stuffing, potatoes, pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce. In some countries, they celebrate their thanksgiving with a parade held on or around thanksgiving day. Some people take a four day weekend. It is called a 4 day weekend because they usually take a vacation the day after Thanksgiving. This holiday is celebrated because we want to give thanks for what we have and for the blessings that God gave us.

The malunggay shake

The malunggay shake is made up of strawberrys, pineapples and malunggay. You will also need a blender, a bowl of ice and a teaspoon of sugar. To make this shake you will need to put all the ingredients into the blender, blend for 2 minutes and serve. The best way to serve this is to put it in a tall or small cup and simply place an umbrella or a cherry on top and you are ready to taste you work of art. This shake tastes sweet and a little bit sour but it tastes great. The best thing about this shake is that you can make this on any occassion. Make it on Christmas, Halloween, Valentines, Thanksgiving or New Year it will still taste the same and at the same time its healthy for you.
