小学六年级英语my holiday作文（优秀20篇）

在我的心里，装买啦许多的童年趣事。它们像那天上的繁星一般，数也数不尽。但是其中有一颗最亮的繁星，在我的童年中闪闪发亮。下面就让我为您们摘下这可繁星吧！

那是8年前的暑假中，我和妈妈回到乡下，探望年长的姥姥。在我幼小的童年中并不是去探望姥姥，而是去找和我同等大小的表哥去玩。

一天，姥姥和舅舅、舅妈要去上地，妈妈怕姥姥累着，所以一同和姥姥他们上地去啦。现在，就我和表哥在家做游戏。可是表哥一不留神就把姥姥的花瓶摔碎啦，我们都知道那个花瓶可是姥姥捧在手里怕摔着，含在嘴里怕化啦啦的宝贝呀！姥姥把我们这些孩子放在第一，花瓶就是第二啦！表哥却把它摔碎啦！

表哥愣啦一会儿，转过头来对我说：“妹妹，我平时对你不错吧！你一定要帮哥哥被这个‘黑锅’哦！如果‘背’好啦这个‘锅’，我就给你买糖吃。好不好？”我一听有糖吃，不管干什么我都干，不就是背黑锅嘛！我的力气那么大，一定可以的。就这样我就爽快的答应啦无助的表哥。

答应啦别人的事就要干，我连忙跑到储藏室拿啦一根长绳子，又跑到啦厨房把姥姥炒菜的大黑锅，绑到啦后背上，就跑啦出去。不巧，妈妈、姥姥、舅舅、舅妈都回来啦，妈妈看到我这样连忙问我怎么回事，我也一五一十的和妈妈说啦事情的全过程。这事姥姥她们捧腹大笑，而我还只知其一不知其二，不知道他们在笑什么。姥姥也沉浸在笑声中，好似忘啦花瓶的事啦。这使得表哥已经抬不起头啦。

这就是我心中最闪亮的繁星！我相信你也有一段这样的童年趣事吧！

I am a shy girl, when there is activity in my class, I will run away from it and try to be nobody. But in my heart, I want to be noticed and show my talent. My friend encourages me to take part in the activity, she helps me to finish the task.At last, I become more and more confident and get along with others. I am so thankful to her for finding my confidence.

我是一个害羞的女孩,班上有活动的时候,我会逃离，让自己成为隐形人。但在我的心里,我想要得到关注，并展示我的才华。我的朋友鼓励我参加活动,她帮助我完成任务。最后,我变得越来越自信，与他人相处得也很愉快。我很感谢她帮助我找到了自信。

蓦然回首，那段岁月，却上心头……岁月悠悠，时间悄悄走过，听风吹过的声音，突然心就有一点点疼了，因为想起了那七彩魔方般多彩多姿的小学生活……

在母校的教育下，我们得到了许多。我们得到了许多朋友，得到了许多新知识，使我们成为彬彬有礼的学生。我们得到了许多完美的回忆和难忘的往事，更多的得到了今后为人处事的指南针。但是我们此刻就要毕业了，蓦然回首，仿佛督促我们的老师，鼓励我们的师长，还有可爱的校园，都要从我们的歌声中消失。而且，不知何时我们已成为校园中的大哥大姐，成为弟妹的榜样。

…… 别了，老师！不忘您六年的谆谆教导。六年父母兄长一般的爱与呵护，学生感激不尽……

别了，同学！不忘你们六年的真挚友谊。六年亲兄妹一般的爱与关心，我永远铭记在心……

别了，母校！不忘您六年的辛勤培养。六年家一般温暖的爱与哺育，学生永生难忘……

……

时间流过去了，它默默地改变着一切。当一切都成为过去，渐渐被遗忘的时候，我用笔淡淡地描绘这幅不愿遗忘的画——六年的小学生活。

As for me, I have a special emotion to autumn. Autumn always gives me a

kind of feeling which can make me forget sorrow. Every time when autumn comes, I

am always glad to feel the beautiful season. I can enjoy myself in this great

season.

I like the wind of autumn. It is cool and comfortable. When the wind kisses

my face, I will close my eyes and smile. I know that wind brings me the breath

of autumn. She lets me understand that autumn is full of happiness. I can smell

and taste autumn everywhere. The view of the autumn will give me a huge

enjoyment. As for me, the wind in autumn is the best present. I am deeply

attracted by the autumn wind. This taste of autumn is delicious.

I also love autumn colors. The leaves will turn yellow in autumn. This kind

of yellow represents hope and maturity. When I see these yellow leaves, I will

think that they still enter into the soil and will give the tree adequate

nutrition. Thus, they never leave the tree. I am moved by this sentiment. This

phenomenon gives me many thoughts about human society. I believe that our

society will have a better development if we realize that we should have a

grateful heart. Autumn colors are so magical for me. They let me have bigger

imagination space to think over life. I know this taste of autumn is sweet.

I really appreciate autumn quality. In my eyes, autumn is just a mature

person. And her love requires no return. In this season, when I walk on the way,

I can feel her sincerity and her firmness. Although she can’t speak one word, I

can learn something from her. This taste of autumn is pregnant and

attractive.

Autumn is my favorite season and I will go on to feel autumn. Autumn also

makes me have a deeper understanding of cherishing everything that I have

now.

New York is the first city in America. When people come to take a visit of

America, they always choose New York as their destination. New York has many

world-famous tourist attractions and people can find them in the Hollywood

movies. The Statue of Liberty is one of the symbolic building, which represents

America. The statue is a gift to the people of United States from people of

France. The meaning of freedom and friendship are shared by both countries.

Today, the meaning of this statue is admitted by the world and when people see

it, they think of freedom. On the right hand, the woman holds a torch and on her

left hand is the book called Declaration of Independence. Whats more, on her

foot is the broken chains. All of these stands for freedom.

I am Happy

Today， the biology class is very different. We don’t need to sit in the

classroom， because the teacher takes us to do activities. We go to a field that

is near our school， and the task for us is to observe flowers. We feel so

excited and finish the task very carefully. It is a good way for us to learn

knowledge. I am so happy.

今天，生物课与平时不太一样，我们不需要在教室里面坐着，因为老师带我们去做活动。我们来到学校附近的一片田野上，我们的任务是观察花朵。我们非常激动，也非常认真地完成这项任务。这是一个学习知识的好方法。我很开心。

在城市的边际，有一片广袤的土地，很肥沃，也很荒芜。这是一个被遗忘的角落，只有一片黑黝黝的土地和存存杂草。

有一天，一颗梧桐的种子飘过来了。他轻轻地在这里安下了家。春天带着轻盈的脚步走过，夏天捧着炎炎烈日走过，秋天携着硕硕累果走过，冬天卷着呼啸的寒风走过。他吮吸着清晨的露，沐浴着正午的日，享受着傍晚的风，将根儿深深地扎进土里，将芽儿奋力地钻出地面。

时间携卷着梦想轻轻地踱过。

有一天，他的隔壁飘来了以为新的同伴——一颗瘦弱的玫瑰种子。晨起的露珠不辞劳苦地喂养着，大地母亲无私地奉献着。不久，瘦弱的种子长成一颗婀娜多姿的玫瑰。

玫瑰啊，多么美丽的玫瑰啊。娇柔的花瓣似血般殷红，嫩绿的茎叶挺立着，在阳光雨露的映衬下，微风袭来，宛如一娇艳的女子在翩翩起舞。玫瑰的美丽吸引了周遭的蜂儿，蝶儿，霎时，玫瑰犹如女王般被高高捧起，娇艳而高贵。

寂夜拉下了帷幕，白昼的狂欢已经散去。梧桐轻声地唤着：“玫瑰，玫瑰。”

玫瑰眨了眨眼睛，笑着道：“我知道我很美，但是，现在我已经累了，你也去休息把。”

梧桐摇了摇绿叶，轻声说：“不，你的确很美。但我只是想告诉你，不要将美丽展现地太彻底。太美的东西都只是暂时的……”

“哼，你是嫉妒我把。”玫瑰一脸怒气地看着梧桐，“我能吸引那么多的蝴蝶和蜜蜂，但是你却怎么也做不到。你这个不会开花的丑八怪，我才懒得理你。”

梧桐呆住了，他张开了嘴巴，却又马上闭上了。他摇了摇头，什么也没说，只是把根深深地扎进土里，将叶子又绿了一遭。

日子一天一天地过去。玫瑰每天尽情地绽放着美丽，在蜂儿蝶儿的伴舞中欢唱。忽然有一天，一个路人经过，看到荒芜的土地上婀娜的玫瑰，顺手摘走了她。

时间携卷着梦想轻轻的踱过。

转眼间，数十年过去了。在城市的边际，有一片广袤的土地，很肥沃，也很茂盛。这里长满了一片梧桐林。林子里有一棵强壮的梧桐树，枝叶散开覆盖了天地，还有朵朵淡黄色的小花，清新而美丽。它的旁边还有一个小小的坑。

大年初二晚上，我们一家坐上了开往三明的火车－要从那里转车

前往泰宁大金湖旅游。火车徐徐开动了，窗外厦门的夜景是多么美丽啊！慢慢的火车驶离了厦门，我也渐渐地在被窝中熟睡……

清晨6点，我从睡梦中被叫醒，已到三明站了。我们下了火车换乘去泰宁大金湖的专车。晨曦徐徐拉开夜的帷幕，虽然是一个雨天的早晨，但却别有一番风味，它带着清新降临在人间。在车上，导游叔叔正为我们详细地介绍大金湖的情况，我聚精会神地听着，原来泰宁的大金湖，是以盛产黃金而得名的，它有着天下第一湖山之誉，并且于20xx年被评为国家4A级旅游区和国家地质公园呢！

“啊！瞧大金湖到了”。我抑制不住激动地大声喊着。经过两个多小时的路程终于到达了大金湖。我们乘船来到了有着大金湖“水上佛寺”的美称、也被誉为“南方悬空寺”的甘露寺。上岸后，我们沿着蜿蜒蹒跚的小径，望着潺缓急流的溪水，只见峰回路转，前边豁然开朗，在绝壁间露出一個天然的石洞，洞顶的巨岩橫空而出，一群气势巍然的红色的古建筑物深掩其間－甘露寺。它依山凌空悬架，悬空处只用一根粗大圆形的红柱架托着四根滚圆横木支撑着，红柱顶天立地，坚实不朽。导游叔叔介绍说，当地人称它为“状元柱”。在当地还有个传说：“抱抱状元柱，男得志，女得子。”于是便有许多游客争先恐后对这根已被抚摸得腻圆滑润的状元柱，或着深拥，或着浅揽，期盼能带来好运气。要登临甘露寺就必须爬101级的石阶，据说这代表“百尺竿头，更进一步”的意思。我信步走上了石阶，呼吸着新鲜的空气，接触春的气息，心情格外的舒畅。许多人爬上后都累得气喘吁吁，我的脚也开始不听使唤，不过我还是坚持爬上了甘露寺。在寺内供奉着观音菩萨，寺庙虽然不大，香火却挺旺，在赤壁丹崖的映照下，显得红光四溢，金壁辉煌。放眼望去一片云雾迷茫，我仿佛置身于仙境之中，真是妙不可言。离开甘露寺，我们又乘船游览湖上风光，见过仙字岩、寿字岩，见过猫儿山，见过三剑峰和移步换景的镇湖关公岩……最令我惊叹是水上一线天。船儿慢慢地驶入了狭窄的通道，船与峭壁碰撞的声音，仿佛在演奏一曲雄壮的生命交响乐。我低头看着峡谷深水，又探头望着天空，只见天、壁、水一线相连，这时觉得天真是太高太高了！

大金湖的绝世奇观真是美不胜收，我不禁感叹大自然的鬼斧神工，遗憾的是我不会作画，无法用画笔绘下这景象万千，充满山水灵性的水上丹霞奇观。

I Play Guitar

I like playing guitar,so my father buys me a guitar for fun.It is very funny.Then my mother asks me to have guitar class.She thinks to learn more skill

is good for me.I start to have guitar class.It is really funny at first.But later on,I feel very tired.It is not easy to get improved.I want to giveup,but I insist at last.Now I can pay several songs.I feel proud of it.

我弹吉他

我喜欢弹吉他,所以我爸爸给我买一把吉他的乐趣。这是非常有趣的。然后我妈妈问我有吉他课。她认为学习更多的技能对我有好处。我开始上吉他课。这是非常有趣的。但是后来,我感觉非常疲劳。不容易得到改善。我想给最后,但我坚持。现在我可以支付一些歌曲。我感到自豪。

Usually, the Valentine’s Day has no connection with the traditional Chinese

festival, but this year, the Lantern festival falls on the same day with the

lovers’ day. Well, some young will face a dilemma，especially for those who

doesn’t get married. Should they spend the day with their families or their hot

lovers? That’s a question. I’ve got a key that can solve this problem.

Family comes first of course. You should wake up a little earlier in the

morning, and help your mother in the kitchen. On the Lantern Festival, making

rice balls and dumplings are the traditional activities. Having a reunion dinner

with the whole family is also very important, so you need to show up and stay

with your family for the whole morning. Spend some time with your family. Keep

them company and make them happy. In the afternoon, there are maybe not so busy,

you can plan for the Valentine’s Day with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you can

have some snacks in 4p.m, and tell your parents you will hang out with your

friends at night and not having supper at home tonight. They would be

understood. Then you can take your girlfriend or boyfriend to a nice restaurant

and see the latest movie after dinner. Do not forget to present the gift you

prepare for your lover. Make your lover happy, too.

I think everybody should find a balance between family love and lover’s

love. If I can only choose one, I will choose family love over the other.

Because I know my family never leaves me and my parents are aging. How many days

can I still be with them? So I really appreciate the days that I can still be

with them. I know you will do the same just like me.

每年的端午节，家家都要包粽子，吃粽子。粽子有它的独特形状、颜色和味道，特别惹人喜爱。

今天，妈妈说：“我们一起来包粽子吧？”我兴奋的答应了。于是，和妈妈一起忙碌起来，先把米洗干净，把粽叶浸泡，还要准备一些蜜枣，就可以开始包了。粽叶包出来的粽子味道特别好，有一种 奇特的清香。包粽子的时候用两个粽叶交错的叠起来，捞一把水中的米放入粽叶里，然后放入蜜枣，相互折起来，最后用绳子捆起来，就这样我们包了一锅的粽子。开始开火蒸粽子，不一会，香喷喷的 味道和米清香的气味就扑面而来，我拉着妈妈迫不及待的让她赶紧给我拿一个吃，妈妈笑着对我说“傻孩子，你不怕烫嘴啊，”我偷偷的跑到厨房，自己拿了一个， “哇！好烫，我连吹带扇的吃完了， 粽子真好吃。”每年端午节都要吃粽子，但是今年在妈妈的帮助下，我吃到了自己亲手包的粽子，感觉特别香。

今天，姥姥来我们家，手里还拿着一把“干树叶，”我惊奇地问：“姥姥，你拿”干树叶“干嘛，”她笑着说：“这不是干树枝，是艾叶，在端午节那天把艾叶插在门口，可以驱赶蚊虫和避邪，治病 ……”听了姥姥的讲解，我怀着好奇心，拿出了百科全书，书上是这样写的：“艾叶是种普通的植物，生长在山地头，晾干后的艾叶不仅可以在夏天用艾叶熬水擦洗患处，还有解毒功效呢！”小小的 艾叶竟有如此大的好处 。我突然发现，自己要学习的知识还有很多很多，不仅课堂上要认真听讲，还要多看一些课外读物，从而了解更多的知识，做一个德、智、体全面发展的好学生。

今年的端午节令我难忘。

每天晚上七点半是我们全家人看电视的黄金时间，每当这时，激烈的“电视争夺战”就开始了！这是比赛只有四个选手：爸爸、妈妈、妹妹和我。

这不，今天的“电视争夺战”又开始了，一起去看看吧！

“预备，开赛！”

爸爸匆忙吃了几口饭，便以迅雷不及掩耳之势冲到客厅，打开电视机，看起了足球。还没看几分钟，我们就都吃完了。

“快点起来，《家政女皇》要开始了。”老妈朝着老爸大吼。老爸装作没听见，老妈又喊：“跟你说话没听见呀！让我看会儿！”老爸终于顶不住老爸的“狮吼功”，逃回了军营——卧室。

老妈刚拿起遥控器，我就来了，“妈，让我看会儿《快乐大本营》吧！”“去去去，小孩儿一边玩去！”老妈不让，我只好用我的必杀技——可怜光波。“妈——让我看会儿嘛，求你了。”我用可怜巴巴的眼神看着老妈。老妈无可奈何，只好放下遥控器，织毛衣去了。

我津津有味地看着电视。“我要看动画片。”妹妹央求道，我装作没听见。“我要看动画片”妹妹又说了一遍。我还装作没听见，等待她说第三遍。结果，没说第三遍直接“哇哇”大哭起来，我忙把电视让给了她。

妹妹享受着电视的乐趣，可我们只有去干别的事了。

进行了这么多次“电视争夺赛”，我总结了一条“人物链”：爸爸怕妈妈，妈妈怕我，我怕妹妹，妹妹天下无敌。有趣吧！

这就是我们家的趣事，你们家的呢？

上课了，老师在黑板上画了一个可爱的卡通娃娃。

它多美呀！戴着一顶美丽的帽子；尖上还有一个白色的小绒球；它细长的眉毛下有一双水汪汪的大眼睛；一头蓝色的长发；扎着两条小辫子；辫子上还系着两只蝴蝶结。一张弯弯的小嘴好像在对我们说：“请跟我贴个鼻子吧。”

同学们看了看，说：“周老师，它怎么没有鼻子呀？”

周老师说：“这节课我们就是来帮娃娃贴鼻子。”大家一听，开心极了。老师要点名了，同学们都把手举的高高的，好让老师看到自己。

周老师一点就点到了洋博涵，只见周老师用红领巾蒙住了他的眼睛，再让他转三圈，没想到他竟然晕了，不知道黑板在哪里，差一点就摔到了讲台前，还好周老师扶住了他。老师让他再玩一次，仍然用红领巾蒙住他那明亮的眼睛。让他转三圈。这次他镇定了，但是他贴贴贴，还是把鼻子贴错了，把鼻子贴到眼睛下面。可怜的娃娃好像对我们哭诉：“啊。我的鼻子长歪了。” 而洋博涵他那狼狈相引的大家嘴都合不拢了。

今天，通过这件事让我知道了：做任何事都不能慌张，要保持镇定。

星期天清晨，空气非常新鲜，有很多人去公园晨练，有白发苍苍的老人，有身强体壮的年轻人，还有活泼可爱的小朋友。有的老奶奶在舞扇子，一会儿折起来，一会儿又展开来，好象蝴蝶在飞舞呢！有的老奶奶舞太极剑，好象花木兰在奋勇杀敌呢！有的老爷爷打太极拳，一会儿向左转，一会儿向右转，把人的眼睛也看花了。年轻人有的百米赛跑，你看，他们有的头仰面朝天，还有的看着地面，好象在为自己加油。有的年轻人拉铁环，他们使出吃奶的力气拉来拉去，真好玩。再来看看我们小朋友吧，他们有的做早操，有的玩单、双杠，小明做早操，一会儿踢踢腿，一会儿弯弯腰，小刚玩单杠，翻跟头。玩双杠也可以练习倒立，还有的小朋友玩荡秋千，一会儿荡过来，一会儿荡过去，真好玩。晨练不仅锻炼身体还能减肥，所以，我每天早晨都出来晨练。

I like to hear music so much, every time when I am in the bad mood, I will

take out my MP3, listening to the music, then all my worries will be forgotten.

Music is part of my life, I like rock music specially, Avril is my favorite

female singer, I like all of her songs. I wish someday I can have the chance to

watch her music concert.

Last week, I saw an Interesting cartoon and I was attracted by the

beautiful house. The house was in the top of the mountain. Every morning, the

main character could see the whole landscape and village. It is such a beautiful

house for me. In the future, I want to have a house like this, trees and flowers

are around.

转眼我们就要小学毕业了，回忆以前在学校的点点滴滴，我不禁笑了……

我站在学校那棵吹着千万条大辫子的柳树下，望着操场上那一群生龙活虎的同学们。争先恐后地奔跑，奋不顾身的飞跃。望着他们汗流浃背，浑身泥泞的模样，我明白了小学生活中有着不屈和顽强。

我站在老师的办公室门前，静静的望着辛勤的园丁正在为我们批改着作业。幽默，和蔼，爱护就是可亲可敬的好老师。我记得，当我们第一天来到这个校园，我们就融进了一个知识的殿堂。课堂上，有老老师的孜孜教诲。课下，有老师废寝忘食的开导。我用感激的眼神望着老师，是她们用母爱的力量把我们从稚嫩的孩童教育成人。

我站在学校的足球场上，我好像看到一群天使正在奔跑雀跃，嬉笑划过耳畔，加油声此起彼伏。在一张张洋溢的笑脸上，我看到了团结的力量，我感受到了分享的快乐。

我希望大家永远是最好的朋友。即使小学已经毕业，也不要忘记彼此。在这里，我把最美好的祝愿送给大家，祝愿大家在新的学习中更进一步。”当帅气的班长激情洋溢的说完，我知道，从班长走下讲台的那刻起，我们毕业了，一段最美好的生活也就在记忆当中储存起来。

小学是难忘的，里面有同学之意，有师生之情，有坚韧和担当。美好的小学生活，让我充满留恋与难忘。

According to a recent article on Newsweek concerning children’s’ education,

there is an increasing number of parents worrying their kids to an extreme

extent, depriving them of independence and freedom by keeping them around

parents all the time.

Some people applaud this phenomenon, suggesting that kids’ safety is the

most important. Thus, they’d better not enter the hazardous society without

supervision unless they become adults. From my point of view, some of their

opinion is correct but keeping children away from independence is a completely

erroneous decision. The reasons are as follows:

First and foremost, “locking kids” may hinder their healthy growth, both

mentally and physically. The kids who are locked may have heavy reliance on

their parents, as their comprehensive skills such as communication skills or

cooperative spirit being prevented from developing.

Secondly, what these parents fail to see is the fact that the crime rate

and accidents aren’t on a rapid rise. It is the abuse of mass media that make

crimes and violence more scary. The parents, who love their kids so much, are

completely forced to live under the illusion that our society is full of riots

or threats of accidents. Thus, kids can be allowed to have more freedom such as

walking to school by himself, for instance.

From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that

kids should be given more freedom by parents’ effort. At the same time, parents

should take many factors into consideration such as the time restriction for

children and the evaluation to kids’ maturity and capability. Only then can they

enjoy a safe and meaningful childhood.

感恩节是美国人民独创的一个古老节日，也是美国人合家欢聚的节日，因此美国人提起感恩节总是倍感亲切。感恩节是美国国定假日中最地道、最美国式的节日(holiday)，它和早期美国历史最为密切相关。起源于马萨诸塞普利茅斯的早期移民。这些移民在英国本土时被称为清教徒，因为他们对英国教会的宗教改革不彻底感到不满，以及英王及英国教会对他们的政治镇压和宗教迫害，所以这些清教徒脱离英国教会，远走荷兰，后来决定迁居到大西洋彼岸那片荒无人烟的土地上，希望能按照自己的意愿信教自由地生活。

Thanksgiving is an ancient festival American original people, is also the American family reunion holiday, so the Americans brought Thanksgiving always feel warm. Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American of the national holidays in the United States (holiday), the early history of the United States and is most closely connected. The early settlers of Massachusetts originated in Plymouth. These people were called pilgrims in the UK, because of their religious reform of the Church of England is not completely satisfied with, and the king and the Church of England for their political repression and persecution, so the pilgrims from the Church of England, went to Holland, then decided to move to the other side of the Atlantic that desolate land, hope in accordance with the wishes of their religious freedom in life.

1962年9月，“五月花号”轮船载着102名清教徒及其家属离开英国驶向北美大陆，经过两个多月的艰苦航行，在马萨诸塞的普利茅斯登陆上岸，从此定居下来。第一个冬天，由于食物不足、天气寒冷、传染病肆虐和过度劳累，这批清教徒一下子死去了一半以上。第二年春天，当地印第安部落酋长马萨索德带领心地善良的印第安人，给了清教徒谷物种子，并教他们打猎、种植庄稼、捕鱼等。在印第安人的帮助下，清教徒们当年获得了大丰收。首任总督威廉·布莱德福为此建议设立一个节日，庆祝丰收，感谢上帝的恩赐。同时，还想借此节日加强白人与印第安人的和睦关系。1621年11月下旬的星期四，清教徒们和马萨索德带来的90名印第安人欢聚一堂，庆祝美国历史上第一个感恩节。男性清教徒外出打猎、捕捉火鸡，女人们则在家里用玉米、南瓜、红薯和果子等做成美味佳肴。就这样，白人和印第安人围着篝火，边吃边聊，还载歌载舞，整个庆祝活动持续了三天。

In 1962 September, "May flower" ship loaded with 102 pilgrims and their families to leave England to North America, after two months of hard sailing in Plymouth, Massachusetts ashore, settled down. The first winter, due to lack of food, cold weather, disease rampant and overworked, the settlers died more than half. The second year spring, the local Indian tribal chiefs, Masaso de led the kind-hearted Indian, gave the Puritan grain seed, and teach them to hunt, planting crops, fishing etc.. With the help of the Indians, the pilgrims had a good harvest. The first governor William Bradford has proposed the establishment of a festival to celebrate the harvest, thank you for the gift of god. At the same time, also want to take a holiday to strengthen the harmony between whites and indians. In late November 1621 Thursday, 90 Indians have a joyous gathering the Pilgrims and Massa Soder, celebrated the first Thanksgiving USA history. Male pilgrims go out hunting, capture Turkey, women in the home with corn, pumpkin, sweet potato and fruit to make delicious food. Thus, whites and Indians around the bonfire, chat while eating, but now singing, now dancing, the celebration lasted three days.

初时感恩节没有固定日期，由各州临时决定。直到美国独立后的1863年，林肯总统宣布感恩节为全国性节日。

At Thanksgiving without a fixed date, the provisional decision by the state. Until America after independence in 1863, President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday.
