Since you're a noobie to Thanksgiving, I will tell you the story we're told as little kids.
Well supposedly, when the pilgrims came to America, they were having a rough winter, and they were all getting sick and dying and since the winter was rough, they couldn't get any food. Well, after that, a bunch of nice little native americans came up and decided to teach them how to hunt and farm. To celebrate their new friends and harvesting, they had a big meal. And thus made the holiday Thanksgiving.
But of course.. thats kind of unrealistic with the native Americans and the pilgrims uniting.
But its just a large feast to celebrate the end of the farming/harvesting season.
