To celebrate this harvest season, they held a Thanksgiving celebration.
1623, in order to help more immigrants, the Puritans decided to apply to the British royal family to hold a national Thanksgiving celebration. The British royal family agreed to their request and declared Thanksgiving a public holiday.
