　　His brother Ben, nine, said: “The best thing about Thanksgiving, is that when it is finished, it is time to start Christmas.”

　　But behind the food and the large amount of money spent there is another message. On Thursday evening. Dean and Ben’s family will make a basket and put it on the table as they eat their evening meal.

　　Each of them will write a list of things that they are thankful for and place the paper in the basket. The family will read the pieces of paper and take time to thank God and each other for providing them with comfortable and happy lives.

　　Thanksgiving is a traditional festival that started in 1621, when the first pilgrims arrived in the US to start a new life. After a hard year, they had a big autumn harvest. They held a feast and invited the native American Indians along to thank God for giving them enough food.
