For reference - Harvest Festival is a common Autumnal tradition in Britain - as it is in many European cultures, and the main inspiration for the codified Thanksgiving of North America. However it is mostly observed in primary schools (up to age 11), churches, charities for the poor and hungry and rural areas where farming/harvest is still part of daily life - and is not viewed as a formal holiday, at least in the UK.

I wish that both Kate and Shevon could host various episodes of this show. They each have qualities that are really entertaining. Kate is gorgeous, adorable, and very pleasant to listen to. Shevon is quirky and hilarious... everything she says and does makes me belly laugh!

+John Stuart Mill. Actually the thanks being given is up to the free will of the assembled family. They pick the object for their thanks. The holiday falls on no ordained saints day, a Thursday, and is not ordered or directly observed in any mainstream religious tradition or obligation. Unlike Christmas and Easter which are the last of the Holy feast days of Anglo-American protestants. Though it is often imagined romantically to have been originally a religious feast day, the Puritan seperatists were Dessenters and did not celebrate holy feast days at all, like King William of Orange and Cromwell would also discourage later in the 1600s. These Seperatists were trying to flee the Stuart Kings who were closet Catholics and pushed for High Anglican traditions or else in the police state of 17th cen Britain. If Thanksgiving had come from a story of the earlier Jamestown settlers, then it'd probably be on Sunday and involve church and at least be an Episcopal thing today. Oh, I did the dishes and don't watch any sports myself. Never was interested.

I love our channel. Your topics are always interesting and your personality just beams. Thanks!

My husband is British and he had his first Thanksgiving while we were dating. Every person who did not have family was invited to someone's house for Thanksgiving, if you cant get there because you we sick or unable to walk , free ambulance service will pick you up and take you to where you need to go. My family had several people who are not family members come and they dined like kings and queens, my family are great cooks. They left with never to be seen tupperware containers full of everything you can think of. Thanksgiving is a reminder to be thankful for what you have and to be kind and generous towards others.

The first Thanksgiving actually took place two years earlier at a plantation named Berkeley Hundred (hundred was the olden name for what would become plantations). This hundred is located in Charles Cittie (City) County, VA. They celebrated this first Thanksgiving when the original workers on the hundred arrived to Virginia from England in 1619.

Actually, the first official Thanksgiving was held in Virginia, at Berkley Plantation (called Berkley Hundred at that time) on December 4, 1619, 2 years earlier than the Pilgrims. It was Sarah Josepha Hale who led the campaign to have the Pilgrim's Thanksgiving named as the first.

Hi Kate! Longtime watcher of Anglophenia, featuring your incredibly charming self! I have to say, your videos about British culture seem to be targeted primarily at Americans. That's all fine and good, but what about those of us in THE COMMONWEALTH? As a Canadian, it's always interesting to see Americans and Brits banter about all the stuff they find odd about eachother. A fair bit of the time, I recognize aspects of both. We have plenty of things in common - Smarties! Politeness! The Queen! Pubs! A Westminster-stlye parliament! Scones! The letter "zed"! ZED!!!! Why not do a few episodes about what THE EMPIRE has left behind, for better or worse, in their former colonies? Because there are still some things about Britain that we find more familiar than some of our *cough* more immediate neighbours... Thanks!

I like your videos a lot, keep up the amazing work!

Me and my cat love to feast on thanksgiving. Turkey and mashed potatoes are my favorites. Also as a family tradition my family watched thanksgiving Macy's parade and the Dog Show afterwards

Great video. As an American I know most of these (except for the puke-stockings bit) from my school days, but it's a wonderful refresher with the holiday coming up. If I can throw in one small fact - there were semi-regular thanksgivings feasts before 1863. But they were not on a set date nor were they nation wide. Rather the governors of the various states (OK, occasionally Congress would get in on the act) would just declare a thanksgiving ad hoc whenever they wanted to celebrate something 'neat' that had happened - except for a national Thanksgiving declared by Pres. Washington in 1789. So not every state would not have it at the same time. Some years some states would not have one and others they may have two. So it was rather a mess until Pres. Lincoln standardized it in 1863.

A great concise history. Well done~!

Actually, in 1942, Congress set Thanksgiving to the 4th Thursday in November. It was the last Thursday from 1864 to 1937. President Roosevelt moved it up 1 week in 1938 then again in 1939 and 1940. But many states, like Massachusetts, refused to observe Roosevelt's date and celebrated on the original date. Thus prompting Congress to set the day permanently to the 4th Thursday.

NO pumpkin pie - there were no ovens - thus, no way to bake.

I like the way she casually skips the atrocities committed by Columbus.

My ancestor came to the US years before the pilgrims and he was one of the first to settle in Jamestown Va.

In England we have harvest festival. It's been going as long as i remember, and that's nearly half a century.

Thanksgiving is a lovely holiday--not in terms of its origins so much as what it is. It's simply a day to gather with family and friends and give thanks for...whatever. It's a holiday that just about everyone in the US shares--and it's kind of cool to think that most people in the country, even if there are some variations, are all putting the same meal on the table, including turkey, stuffing, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. It's also one of the least commercial holidays, because all people buy for it is food. Love Thanksgiving.

The "Pilgrims" arrived at the Plymouth Colony in 1620 and had their "Thanksgiving" in 1621. And this is called the First Thanksgiving. Never mind the fact that there is a documented Day of Thanksgiving in Virginia at the Berkley Hundred in 1619. And while not documented there probably were days of thanksgiving on Roanoke Island in 1585 before the colony disappeared and at Jamestown Colony in 1607; there was surely a celebration of thanksgiving when , in 1610, Thomas West, Baron De La Warr, new governor of Virginia re supplied Jamestown Colony after the Starving Time.

I love Thanksgiving. I’m in the southern portion of the US where there is a “stuffing vs dressing war.” Dressing is essentially a modest soufflé made from the savory cornbread stuffing to which eggs and milk are added, then baked. To keep the peace, I stuff the Turkey with the drier seasoned cornbread crumbs (don’t worry - it moistens beautifully inside the juicy bird. The purpose of stuffing is to maintain the turkey’s shape. The remaining seasoned cornbread gets the beaten eggs and milk as stated earlier. Both are divine. Mashed potatoes and vegetable sides are served, plus yeast rolls hot from the oven. Don’t forget the gravy! And the homemade cranberry sauce. In our family, we have pecan pie and apple pie, scratch-made. If someone pleads in advance I can be called upon to make a pumpkin pie as well.

Anybody who has looked at history a little would realize that a lot of the recipes used in that first feast would have come from England. Looking at English recipes from the time period would have been a great addition to this video.

Thankyou! I'd like to point out that Lincoln made thanksgiving as a morale booster for the bedraggled soldiers. Also, thanks giving was changed from the last thurs. in Nov. to the 4th Thursday inWW2 or right after...Why?

Asians were actually the first "Pilgrims" to arrive in the New World. The American Indians who are descendants of Asian hunters from Siberia migrated to the Americas over 40,000 years ago. Also, the first modern Asians to arrive in the Americas were Filipino men from the Philippines who worked as sailors and navigators. They crossed the Pacific Ocean on galleons and landed on Morro Bay, California in 1587 -- several decades before the European Pilgrims arrived.

Thanks for talking turkey about the history of Thanksgiving.

Another fun fact about Thanksgiving.

Hence, the reason the finale of the parade is the arrival of Santa Claus.

In the 1970s, there was a lot of consternation because tourists were chipping off bits as souvenirs. So, if the Pilgrims had landed on Plymouth Rock, their ship would have run aground unless the configuration of the bay was vastly different in 1620 than it is today (which is possible).

Squanto's story is MUCH more interesting than the common story of the Dessenter/seperatists that came to the future US, almost 2 decades AFTER the Virginians.

Oh, please read a damn history book. The pilgrims did not just go around murdering Indians and taking their land. They weren't stupid and they weren't evil. They understood diplomacy and wanted to make allies of the local tribes. The first colonists and the Wampanoag got along perfectly well. The land they built their home on had been the childhood home of Tisquantum, but it had been abandoned when disease spread through the area before the colonists arrived. They didn't have to steal that land, Massasoit gave them permission to settle there. They did not kill any natives until much later when Metacomet and his people started murdering colonists. They were at war with each other after that. This modern narrative where the Pilgrims were evil racists and the Indians were gentle harmless victims is a bunch of baloney.

Thanksgiving Day comes from the celebration after the Spanish Armada failed to conquer England in 1588. It was celebrated in November, a week or 10 days after Queen Elizabeth I's Accession Day. I've read different stories about what killed so much of the native population. Some say it was Hepatitis A, from sharing food and drink out of the same vessels. There was a fight between English and French fishing ships on the coast of Maine. The French won and left the English on shore. Within a few years, 90% of the local native population was dead, and some of those were able to speak English.
