感恩节的由来要一直追溯到美国历史的发端。

1620年，著名的“五月花”号船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。

1620年和1621年之交的冬天，他们遇到了难以想象的困难，处在饥寒交迫之中，冬天过去时，活下来的移民只有50来人。

这时，心地善良的印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品，还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。

在印第安人的帮助下，移民们终于获得了丰收，在欢庆丰收的日子，按照宗教传统习俗，移民规定了感谢上帝的日子，并决定为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助，邀请他们一同庆祝节日。

TheEuropeanOriginsofThanksgiving

许多人认为感恩节是北美的节日，但在更早之前的西欧社会，人们就已经举办丰收庆典，感谢富饶大自然给予的恩赐。

当欧洲人移民到新大陆后，也带来了这一传统习俗。

ThanksgivingHistoryofPardoningtheNationalTurkey

每年一度的总统放生火鸡仪式始于1947年杜鲁门总统当政时期。

被选中的火鸡可以在农场里自然地生老病死，随心所欲地享受它的生活，没选中的只能成为白宫美味的晚餐了。

那么，在美国，人们过感恩节都有哪些风俗习惯呢？
