A-1 Home Care wishes you a Happy thanksgiving

Ready for a mini history lesson?

Thanksgiving is a holiday many of us love the most. It's a celebration of bounty, harvest, tradition, and best of all, food. However, many of us are unaware of the story behind the fourth thursday of November. 

The people who comprised the Plymouth Colony were a group of English Protestants who wanted to break away from the Church of England. A ship carrying 101 men, women, and children spent 66 days traveling the Atlantic Ocean, intending to land where New York City is now located. Due to the windy conditions, the group had to cut their trip short and settle at what is now called Cape Cod. It was there that they settled and eventually broke bread in the first Thanksgiving.
