Hi Mandy, you can find the answer at this website link http://www.thanksgiving-day.org/origin-thanksgiving-day.html

it is a way to thank God for his kindness.

I do always thanking for God for blessings. when i get up early in the morning i should say o God thank you for the new day' a day for change and a chance. for me thanks giving is somewhat giving your duties through His Glory name. Have a communication with Him through prayers. it is not actually giving a material things. this is what i believe.

u do one thing first say thanks to me then it will be easier for u understand the answer

haha chinese festival O(∩_∩)O~
