Thanksgiving Day is on Thursday of November in United States. It is such a fabulous opportunity that people always express their appreciation to those who are important to them. The history of Thanksgiving dates back to the 17th century. 

 

History of Thanksgiving

In 1620, The Puritans suffering from domestic religious oppression migrated to America. They were faint from hunger and cold. Fortunately, Indians sent some life essentials to them and taught them how to hunt, fish, and grow corn. With the help of Indians, the migrants finally get a good harvest. To show their sincere gratitude to the Indians, the Puritans hunt some turkeys and treat the Indians with a feast on a Thursday in late November. Since then, people would gather to celebrate and express their appreciation.  

 

Nowadays, we often get together to eat turkey. Apart from the family reunion dinner, an elaborate card is the icing on the cake. How to make a delicate Thanksgiving card? Here is a guide.
