    THE KEY / TAPESCRIPT

    We're all familiar with the story of the first Thanksgiving, when the pilgrims invited local Native Americans to share a
    meal with them.But we bet you didn't know that Thanksgiving didn't become an annual tradition until 200 years later.
    1.That first Thankgiving in 1621 wasn't just one big meal - it was a tree-day-festival of eating, hunting and other
    entertainment in honor of the Pilgrims' first successful harvest.

    2. The Indians killed 5 deer as gifts for the colonists , so venison was definitely on the first Thanksgiving menu. But
    we bet you didn't know the turkey was not.

    3. They also didn't have the pumpkin pie or potatoes which hadn't beed introduced to New England yet, and while
    men did eat cranberries, they would have been served plain, not in a sauce or relish.

    The Pilgrims didn't plan on starting Thanksgiving tradition, in fact they didn't repeat the November celebration in
    subsequent years.

    4. In 1789 President George Washington announced the first ever national Thanksgiving holiday, which took place on
    Thursday November 26th.

    5. But it didn't become an annual tradition nationwide until the 19th century.

    6. That's when an American writer named Sara Josepha Hale, most famous for writing the nursery rhyme "Mary Had
    a Little Lamb", was inspired by "A Diary of a Pilgrim Life" to recreate that first Thanksgiving feast.

    7. Beginning in 1827, Hale waged a nearly thirty-year campaign to make Thanksgiving a national holiday.

    8. She also published recipies for pumpkin pie, turkey and stuffing. They probably didn't appear on Pilgrim's' plates,
    but they would become a staples of modern Thanksgiving meals.

    9. In 1863, in the midst of the Civil war, President Abraham Lincoln announced that the nation would celebrate
    Thanksgiving every year on a final Thursday in November . But did you know?

    10. In 1939 President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to move the holiday up a week to give the pressuring retailers
    more time during the free Christmas shopping season. The move was widely criticised.

    11. In 1941 FDR signed the bill fixing things giving on the fourth Thursday in November, where is stays today.

    12. One of the courtiest Thanksgiving traditions began in 1989 when President George H. W. Bush granted the first
    official pardon to a turkey.

    13. Every November since then the current Oval Office occupant has given free to one or two turkeys sending them to
    a retirement to a farm rather than to a dinner table.They only began in the late 20th century, the stories have become
    one of the most unusual chapters in the long history of Thanksgiving traditions.
